Mineola—A popular recreational space in Mineola recently received a much-needed upgrade thanks to the efforts of a local nonprofit. The Flint and Steel Coalition, a community-driven organization, has revitalized the city’s skate park, giving new life to a spot cherished by local youth and skaters.

The transformation included repairing damaged structures, adding new skate features, repainting surfaces, and improving overall safety. Volunteers and community partners came together over several weekends to complete the work.
