The Town of Spindale, in collaboration with the United Methodist Church and many generous community partners, is working to develop a cutting-edge skateboard park and bicycle pump track on property recently donated by the church to the Town. Adjacent to the Thermal Belt Rail Trail, North Slope Park completely revitalizes a once-vacant 1.6-acre parcel in the heart of Spindale’s central business district.
