Community WaveHouse celebrates 10 years of barrels with pro flowboarders competition in MB By DAVE SCHWAB Mission Beach’s WaveHouse, the iconic 40,000-square-foot beachfront venue at Belmont Park, this week celebrates the 10-year anniversary of its famous wave machines by inviting pro flowboarders from around the globe for a weeklong series of wave shows, bigtrick contests and special wave sessions culminating in the U.S. Open of Flowboarding competition awarding $10,000 in cash prizes. Boasting the FlowRider and the FlowBarrel, WaveHouse’s simulated wave machines have challenged pros and novices, celebrities and tourists alike over the past decade. The only FlowBarrel in the United States, WaveHouse San Diego’s 10foot wave machine pumps 100,000 gallons of water a minute over a uniquely shaped ride surface creating an endless barreling wave. WaveHouse’s commitment to the sport has elevated flowboarding to a competitive sport with worldwide events and an international fan base. WaveHouse’s own Team USA holds the most world champion titles, including current team mem-
bers Eric Silverman and Sean Silveira. Silverman said WaveHouse’s flowboarding system is truly unique. “This is the only big, full barrel running in the United States, though there are other flowriders, smaller ones, all over the world,” he said. “This one allows us to be able to do all our big tricks. If this one weren’t here, we’d have to fly to Singapore, Abu Dhabi or Chile to use one. It’s insane.” Silverman added that Belmont Park’s Flowrider is “super-safe and super-addicting,” noting the flowboard used is a cross between a skateboard and a wakeboard. The weeklong schedule of celebratory events includes:
flowboarders light up the barrel with a flips, tricks and big airs wave show. • AM Chams: U.S. Open qualifier: 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 19, free admission.

Wesley Palms begins redevelopment of retirement community Plan will upgrade cottages into patio homes, revitalize landscaping, improve amenities and buildings Wesley Palms, a Front Porch fullservice retirement community at 2404 Loring St. on Mt. Soledad, recently announced a redevelopment plan comprising a revitalization of the iconic midcentury main building apartments and amenities and the unveiling of 29 new patio homes in place of existing cottages in the first two phases. The phased revitalization commenced in April with the intent to preserve the midcentury modern aesthetic of the original construction, which opened in 1962. The revitalization will improve the 35-acre parkland and retain Wesley Palms’ character, serving as an ode to an iconic era in California architecture and a complement to the style of the adjacent neighborhood. The patio homes in phases one and two will be completed within the first 14 months and are slated to open for residents in the summer of 2016. The retirement community will continue its current operations throughout the phased revitalization. Summer House at Wesley Palms memory care neighborhood and Courtyard catered living cottages will continue to accept new residents as openings become available. Details of the first phases include a transformation of 26 cottages into 29 patio homes, improvements of amenities within and around the main

building and enhancements of the landscape. Upgrades to the main building include: • Interiors will be converted to enhance connectedness among residents, with added amenities such as a café, remodeled library and reading patio, business center, fitness/wellbeing center, chapel and the addition
of a heated therapy pool. • The structural integrity and iconic façade of the main building, with its signature chevron porte cochere and classic midcentury architecture, will be retained, given the midcentury southern California appeal of the original 1962 design. • Main building residences will be

remodeled and refreshed with new windows, plumbing, electrical and HVAC. The revitalization will introduce new single-story patio homes with the sleek style and function of midcentury modern design. Built with the temperate San Diego weather in mind, the 29 patio homes in phases one and
two will celebrate nature and openplan living, highlighting: • an indoor-outdoor lifestyle with airy, barrier-free designs to take advantage of parkland or ocean views; • generous windows and high ceilings to welcome natural light and beauty of the natural landscape; • sleek touches like mosaic glass backsplashes, cathedral ceilings, clerestory windows, designer kitchens and baths and large patios for soaking up the California sunshine; and • walking paths connecting to outdoor courtyards, fostering a sense of community and encouraging neighborly gatherings. “The new patio homes and added amenities are just a couple of reasons why we’re so excited about what the revitalization brings to Wesley Palms residents and the greater community,” said Wesley Palms executive director Ben Geske. “We have an extraordinary location, a unique history and a strong sense of community that we will celebrate and honor with this revitalization plan.” The community's revitalization will be the latest endeavor in Front Porch’s mission to create thoughtful and unique places that are respectful of the environment, celebrate the individual and attend to the natural aesthetic of form and function.

New HydraFacial skin treatment available at Paradise Point Resort & Spa in Mission Bay By MICHELLE POVEDA If you’ve ever wanted to experience the remarkable results of a peel or med spa treatment but are afraid of the harsh chemical affects, Paradise Point Resort & Spa in Mission Bay has something for you: the HydraFacial. Paradise Point is the only resort in San Diego to offer this unique skin treatment, which has garnered wide acclaim and attention from celebrities and various media outlets. To see what all the fuss was about, I tried it out for myself. Located just off Ingraham Street, in the middle of Mission Bay, Paradise Point is hidden from the bustle of the city. It is a 462-room bungalow-style resort, encircled by more than one mile of beach, and includes five swimming pools, lagoons, a golf course, a private marina, beach bonfire pits, five dining venues and an island-themed spa. The Spa at Paradise Point is a 7,050-square-foot spa, located at the entrance of the resort, and features saunas, a locker room, a relaxation room and a garden courtyard with a private whirlpool for special events. The spa is available to all

guests as well as locals looking for a little indulgence. I was part of the latter. The HydraFacial is an innovative, noninvasive, high-tech resurfacing treatment designed to deliver immediate results for all skin types. Here’s how it works: A machine
filled with various solutions goes through a four-step process of cleansing and exfoliating your skin. A pen-like instrument is applied to the skin – which feels like a miniloofah scrubbing your face – during a 25-, 50- or 80-minute treatment. A traditional facial mask is applied,

and extractions also take place inside a dark, calm room with soft music playing overhead. My 80minute version included enhancements like a lymphatic drainage, LED light and a luxurious neck, hand and foot massage. On Paradise Point's decision to
become the first resort to introduce the HydraFacial, Spa director Glorianna Myers said, “It is cutting edge. This is exactly what our guests are looking for. I think we all love the idea that we can see immediate results, less fine lines and wrinkles and have radiant skin with little to no redness afterwards.” Introduced May 13, this special facial is slowly picking up in popularity. Brides, conference attendees and locals looking for quick skin results have been the primary consumers of the treatment thus far. While personally I felt relaxed and rejuvenated post-treatment, whether it’s worth the investment ($150 to $250 a session) is a decision you’ll have to make for yourself.

Crown Point Junior Music Academy in Pacific Beach earns national award By DAVE SCHWAB Crown Point Junior Music Academy recently earned the SupportMusic Merit Award from The National Association of Music Merchants Foundation. That should come as no surprise to those familiar with the Pacific Beach neighborhood music magnet school, which is working its way toward loftier goals. The SupportMusic Merit Award is given to individual schools that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students. Crown Point is one of 120 schools nationwide and 18 schools in California being recognized by the foundation for their school-based music education programs. This is the first time Crown Point has received this award. Crown Point is known for its focus on strong academics through music education. Following their motto, "Music Opens Minds," teachers at Crown Point focus on integrating music into their entire curriculum, which helps improve students' intellectual development and musical skill. "Crown Point is a small school with a big vision," said Principal Muriel Bartolini. "All stakeholders involved in the school believe music to be a vital part of a child's education, and because of that, our teach-

ers work hard at incorporating music in all they do within the students' day. Receiving this award has honored our vision." The music almost ended at Crown Point with the 2008 recession and school district budget cuts that curtailed several of the school’s programs, which are now, slowly, returning. “I’ve always been a supporter of the arts because I know there are so many children, if given the opportunity with different mediums, that they would be able to bring out that gift,” said Bartolini. “So when I came here last year as the new principal, I had a sidewalk painted with notes and had music murals put in on school walls to show the community what we are in here.” Bartolini said her goal is to turn Crown Point into “a state-of-the-art music academy.” “That’s my vision,” she said, adding, “There’s a ways to go.” Elementary school assistant
Catalina Valenzuela noted Crown Point’s music program starts out with the school’s transitional kindergarten class and culminates with its Suzuki violin program, wherein both parents and students learn to play the violin together. “The Suzuki method is a big parent-involvement program,” said Valenzuela, noting the parent becomes the child’s “coach.” Kristen Churchill, a Crown Point parent, said the school’s music program is wonderfully involving for families. She added performances by young people can “take your breath away,” with songs performed by children making you want to “tap your feet and get goosebumps.” Noting Crown Point was “a very small school before the music program,” Valenzuela pointed out the school’s population has more than doubled, from about 150 students a few years ago to 390 today. Valenzuela added music is even a major part of after-school and student club programs. “We have a lot of after-school clubs provided free,” Valenzuela said. “Kids learn how to play guitar and other instruments. They go out and perform at the Pacific Beach Library and at events like PB Beachfest and the annual Gator By the Bay festival.” For more information, visit www.sandi.net/crownpoint.

EDUCATION NOTEBOOK >> Earlier start date for school year The San Diego Unified School District voted June 9 to move the start date of the 2016-17 school year to a preLabor Day start. Next year, there will be the traditional post-Labor Day start, but in the following year, classes will begin one week earlier, on Aug. 29. The Mission Bay Cluster would like to sincerely thank the many parents, staff and community members who sent emails, shared concerns at the cluster meetings, responded to the surveys and spoke at the board of eduction meetings to share their opinions. The cluster had many concerns about the calendar committee process, the rationale for change and, most important, the negative impacts of heat indexes in the classrooms with the earlier start date. The cluster appreciated its board of education representative, Michael McQuary, for expressing those concerns on the cluster's behalf on June 9 and voting against the calendar change. The cluster will be putting together a plan to insist that the district address the heat issue in schools. The cluster
will also strongly urge the district to relook at their committee processes in regard to transparency and inclusion.

Get toasted with fresh sandwiches at Cheba Hut By DAVE SCHWAB If you like your subs toasted, there’s just the place for you in Pacific Beach: Cheba Hut. Open since November of 2014, Cheba Hut, at 4651 Mission Blvd., which started in Arizona in 1998, is a southwestern “transplant” that’s really taking root in San Diego. Co-owners Ryan Snyder and Jordan Robinson talked about what they’re bringing to the table with their franchised sub shop. “We specialize in all fresh ingredients; our distributors are local,” said Snyder. “Every store is unique,” noted Robinson. “The only thing the same is the product. It tastes the same everywhere you go. You know you’re getting quality products and fresh ingredients.” “All the stores have kind of a beach feel,” said Snyder. “Ours has a cool bamboo façade. It feels like you’re sitting in a little hut.” “That’s what’s cool,” added Robinson. “Even though it’s a franchise, each store is individual. It looks nothing like the next one.” The owners revealed their favorite choices on the eatery’s extensive sandwich menu, served at lunch and dinner. “The top seller, my favorite, is Cali Mist,” said Snyder. “It’s turkey, bacon, avocado, fresh jalapeños that we make in-house with pepper jack cheese, lightly toasted,” said Snyder. The White Widow is Robinson’s favorite menu item. “It’s chicken, bacon, ranch, mushrooms and pueblo cheese,” he said. “That sandwich is our most popular. The ranch we make from scratch.” “All our sauces are proprietary to us; they’re all made from scratch,” added Snyder, noting, “All our bread is made specifically for us. All our meats and cheeses are sliced inhouse.” A San Diego native, Robinson

went to school in Flagstaff, Ariz., where he met Snyder. Both were budding restaurateurs. “I owned a coffee shop in Arizona, sold it and had a little extra money,” said Snyder. “I had a local, mom-and-pop sandwich shop,” said Robinson. “We wanted to do something that fit us, something that we’d love,” said Snyder. The appeal of Cheba Hut is universal, though the college crowd is a mainstay, with Snyder’s and Robinson’s two eateries at SDSU and PB serving students from all over. “We cater to everybody,” said Robinson. “It’s all about the food. If the food wasn’t good, people wouldn’t come. We get children, elderly people, the military.” “Basically, it’s just anyone who wants to get a sandwich,” said Snyder. In Cheba Hut’s case, it’s toasted sandwiches. Why toasting? “There’s not a whole lot of places

that do it,” said Robinson. Which is why toasting has to be done right, noted Snyder. “You’ve got to do it so that it’s not overly crispy to where it hurts your mouth,” he said. “With ours, just the top layer is crispy, but it’s still squishy on the bottom. It heats the meat and melts the cheese.” “You get a nice contrast from crispy to hot with cold veggies on at the end,” added Robinson. Are more Cheba Huts in San Diego's future? “We’re not trying to put one on every corner; that would take away from the coolness factor,” said Robinson.

Why Pueblo as the name? Because it’s historic — and something San Diegans can relate to, Oliver said. “The Spanish plan for the colonization of California,” he noted, “contained a civil format for the establishment of communities called pueblos. Other translations of 'pueblo’ are used to define a ‘gathering place’ and to refer to a design style of North America's southwestern architecture that is ‘flat roofed.’ Our concept will relate to each of these meanings.” The restaurateur said Pueblo will feature “traditional Baja foods that can be found along the coastal communities of Baja, using ingredients that are regional to Baja.” Oliver added Pueblo’s cuisine will be “contemporary and ever-changing” and be subject to the chef's interpretation and imagination. “The menu will lean favorably

toward seafood and consequently offer lighter, healthier and fresher options than found in a typical Mexican restaurant,” he said, adding, “Completely newly created menu items can also be presented, as long as they honor the essence of Baja cuisine in some way — like the product utilized or the use of a specific cooking method. Guests will probably come to identify us as being a seafood restaurant as much as a Mexican restaurant.” Without revealing the name of Pueblo’s new chef, Oliver said only that “we do have one identified and committed.” He added the new chef is preparing by “immersing himself in the travel and study of Baja California, especially that of the food culture.” A fan of outdoor dining, Oliver said the restaurant’s layout “will try to seamlessly blend the indoors and the outdoors, with much of the seating being in an open courtyard or on a rooftop deck.” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com
Spreading the love with flowers in PB By JENNIFER GREEN Nicknamed “April Flowers” or “Flower Girl” by her clients, April Thorp is spreading more than just love with her new open-air flower shop on the boardwalk called Spreading the Love PB. She believes that everyone has love in them; her mission is to bring it to the surface, in part with flowers and floral arrangements. Thorp grew up on a farm in upstate New York. Her dad grew flowers, and when a local woman in her town of New Woodstock taught she and her sister flower arranging, she was hooked. Thorp got a degree in something called ornamental horticulture floriculture merchandising and worked for a New York florist for seven years before relocating in California to follow her two passions: flowers and running. “In New York, there’s lots of snow. In San Diego, I can run outside and

play with flowers,” she said. Her favorite run is the 100-miler in the hills or mountains. She says it’s a way for her to connect with nature and to ground herself. But back to the flowers. Thorp credits her former boss, Kim Kittinger, of Impulsive Flowers, and Peter Dingsdale, owner of property Pacific Sands Motel, with her ability to strike out on her own. Kittinger donated supplies when Impulsive moved to Mammoth; Dingsdale allowed Thorp to set up shop outside the Pacific Sands Motel. Being a former tenant, Thorp was the perfect choice when Dings-
dale wanted to get some color outside his quirky beachfront apartment building. Now, flowers and her original artwork adorn the building’s exterior. Thorp has an infectious smile and kind words for everyone who walks by her tiny storefront. “Thanks for looking at the flowers!” or “Have a beautiful day” is her response to her store’s admirers. She recalled that a mentor of hers once said that if a day ever passed that a flower “doesn’t take your breath away,” then it’s time to get out. “Every day, even when it’s busybusy like on Valentine’s Day, I’ll stop and look down at what I have in my hands and I remember that advice,” Thorp said. When asked how long she plans to stay, it’s obvious she’s here to stay. “There’s something about the community of Pacific Beach that preserves one’s youth and really brings out the goodness in people. I love it here.”

What's that old board really worth? Having been in the surfing world for more than 50 years now, I have learned a thing or two about surfboards. Bird's Surf SHED now houses more than 1,000 surfboards and counting. It has grow so large that I need an additional location as a clearinghouse to view boards before I can decide if they will be make it into the SHED itself. Although all boards have some value, expectations are often much larger than what the board is really worth. This is most often the case when an uneducated friend or salesperson pumps them up or when a personal attachment is involved. Read on if you care to see how I have come to place values on boards. There are many ways to achieve an appraisal request, depending upon the client's needs and how detailed the appraisal required. Due to surfing's limited appeal, there are no licensed appraisers that I am aware of. The few of us that do this are often different in their approaches. Most work off a basic book value comparing auction results and sales trends, et cetera. I take that into consideration – but since I personally appraise and sell boards on a daily basis, I work off a current value in today's market. To keep things cost effective, I can work off decent photos (I have worked this way often for property settlements). A handson appraisal, wherein I physically handle each board individually, can be called for at times too. It really depends on how detailed the client needs the information to be. Time spent is a factor as well. For a board to be valued at a high dollar amount, it will take some serious research to fairly establish values. You'll be dealing not only with the board itself but also with the historical value and the importance and status that comes along with the prior owner's or builder's reputation in the surf community. Overall condition and availability of inventory plays a large part in a board's value, as does the location the board was built in and where it is now located. Finding a decentpriced board on the East Coast may seem great until you factor in hipping and trying to judge the item off of eBay or craigslist photos. A physical viewing is always the best way to establish a fair market value. As with most things people collect, you should enjoy owning the item more that just thinking of what the dollar value is or someday may be.

San Diego's P.O.D. to release new album, sets tour dates San Diego’s own hard rock heroes, P.O.D. have returned with a new single, the aptly titled “This Is For You,” from the album “The Awakening,” set to be released Aug. 21. The band, which crushed it with a performance at Party in the Park outside Petco Park before the Padres game on June 12, has just kicked off a round of touring in advance of the disc that will have them on the road through at least the end of October.
Dates are already booked across the U.S. and Canada, but no San Diego release party has been set yet. Safe to say that with P.O.D.’s last five albums all hitting the Top 20 on the charts, anticipation is high for this new disc. For more information, visit www.payableondeath.com.

The first 100 fathers at the show will receive a free branded beer chalice to pair with the event brunch. The fare includes more than 75 cars from 1980 and older, including a selection of restored classic autos. Raffle tickets will be sold for exciting prizes, such as SeaWorld tickets, where guests will dine with Shamu; Belmont Park passes; passes to ride waves at the WaveHouse; and so much more. Dad can also celebrate Father’s Day by sailing over
Belmont Park on the new Zip Line or play in the new three-story laser tag maze. And he can always take a ride on the Giant Dipper roller coaster, which turns 90 on the Fourth of July (see story on page 1). Draft, located directly on the Mission Beach boardwalk, will feature a Father's Day brunch, pairing the surf and sand with a wide variety of craft beers. Come hungry, and experience Father’s Day brunch with a fresh take on beachside dining, featuring casual, handcrafted fare from executive chef Brad Wise.

From 8 until 11 p.m. on June 20, the 710 Beach Club will be the site of a fundraiser for Bird Rock Elementary School. On hand will be cover bands Rare Form and the Funk Junkies. The latter in particular is perfect for dance floor action, living up to their name with a set list that includes hits from the Commodores, Kool & The Gang and Pharrell. This is a wonderful opportunity for local music fans to do a good deed while dancing to live music at one of the top nightspots in Pacific Beach, only steps from the water.

One of the hardest-working bands in San Diego, Detroit Underground, performs at Humphrey’s Backstage Live 9 p.m. on June 26. This nine-piece band, fronted by singer Stellita Lindgren, has a phenomenal sound, perfect for their mix of soul and R&B tunes.
The key is their mix of horns, keys and vocals, adding dimensions that other smaller combos could only dream of. Lindgren is a seasoned performer who brings out the best in her fellow musicians with a great stage presence. Matched with Humphrey’s ample dance floor and terrific marina views, this could be the week's best date night bet.

With hits like “Round & Round” and “Lay It Down” they sold millions of albums and toured the world so it’s only natural that there are numerous tribute bands in their honor around the world, including San Diego’s own Rattz, who perform at Brick by Brick on June 27. Though they are clearly hard rockers, the band doesn’t really look like the hair-metal originals, but do a good job of recreating the sound and energy of the originals.

When the Pacific Ocean warms up due to the El Niño effect, red crabs will migrate north and at times wash ashore - as they did at Tourmaline Beach in Pacific Beach on Saturday.

wristband. The rides are open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays; I was going to enjoy myself for the entire day. As I looked over the rides they had, I noticed a few new additions to the park – Zip Line, Leap of Faith, Rock Wall, and the LazerMaze. It was too hard to stay away from these new adventures. As I began to walk through the park, I immediately saw the famous Giant Dipper roller coaster and knew that that would be a perfect start. This historical wooden roller coaster was built in 1925 and restored in 1990; it has provided joy to a number of riders throughout its years. As I took my seat, I knew it was going to be a wild ride. This coaster has a special charm and character to it that is unlike any other. The Giant Dipper passed through a dark tunnel before making its way up the first incline. Once at the top, I knew it was a matter of seconds until my stomach would drop from that first hill. From there, it was full speed through all the hills and turns for the 1-minute and 45-second duration of the ride. Finally, we made it back to the beginning, and all I wanted to do was ride it again. After another ride on the Giant Dipper, I made my way to the Liberty Carousel, which brought me feelings of nostalgia. Next, I went on the Crazy Submarine and the Tilt-A-Whirl, both classic Belmont Park rides. After that, I went on the Beach Blaster, where I had one of the most thrilling experiences of the day. This machine took me swinging 60 feet in the air, swinging 120 degrees like a pendulum. Once I had gone on most of the
attractions, I decided to take a little break and explore the arcade. It has classic vintage games such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong mixed with more modern arcade games as well. After a fun arcade break, I just had to check out some of the new attractions. I headed over to the new Zip Line first ($10 per person for two zips). I suited up and made my way up the stairs to my desent. This adrenaline filled adventure was definitely one for the books. Then I went for the Sky Climb Rock Wall ($6 per person), where I had to choose a rock wall based on difficulty. I opted for the medium difficulty and climbed 30 feet to the top. Right next to the Rock Wall was the Speedwall ($6 per person), where you can race a friend in some friendly competition. Though I was too scared to take the Leap of Faith, the newest freefalling attraction, it is one to get your adrenaline pumping. Last, I tested

found again.” “It’s a very simple quote,” noted Villa, who cautioned that, if time is taken for granted, it will be “the biggest mistake of your life.” “I’d like to leave you with three things,” said Villa. “Live life to the fullest. Follow your aspirations. And the most important of all, this is just the beginning of our lives. We have our whole lives ahead of us.” Senior class president Colin Tandy gave a shout-out to a friend celebrating his birthday before describing the Class of ’15 as “an assortment of athletes, scholars, musicians, activists, artists, leaders and surfers. “We’re proud of our accomplishments and look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead for us,” said Tandy, who thanked “the administration, our incredible coaches, teachers who taught us and inspired us, our families who support us and love us and our friends with whom we’ll share this memory.” Tandy closed with a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Do not go where the path may be. Instead, go where there’s no path and leave a trail.” “Go Bucs!” concluded Tandy. Valedictorian Vanessa Figueroa, a professed “introvert,” said four years of high school were difficult while adding, “But as you know, very much worth it.” Figueroa implored her classmates to “remain kind through your own vision and efforts” while imploring them to “never lose sight of who you are.” “The day has finally come for us to move forward and begin the next stages of our lives,” Figueroa said. Salutatorian Hannah Lobato made reference to the fleetingness of the moment, noting, “Most of the anecdotes I share will soon be forgotten or have little impact.” She said she’d be remiss in not thanking the school administration for its “dedication, patience and accessibility in the classroom, which is what assured us that we got to this point today.” Lobato said the details of the Class of ’15 graduation ceremony “will wear and fade with time, but the memories of anxiety and heartache

and happiness and joy will live on.” “The Class of ’15 has officially made it,” Lobato concluded. Principal Ernest Remillard, who previously was principal at Pacific Beach Middle School, is the first principal to preside over a graduating class in the high school’s new stadium. He told graduates, “I’m so proud to be your principal.” Pointing out how much those he new previously in middle school have grown during their “rigorous 12-plus years of education,” Remillard added, “Now is time for that next step. Many of you have plans to continue your education, join the military or start a career. Whichever path you take, please remember the experiences that you had here at Mission Bay. “Remember the staff sharing the gift of knowledge and the coaches who challenged you on the field, the court or the pool. Remember the friends who shared in these experiences and the times you turned to one another in support. I know you will be successful.”

my skills in the LazerMaze ($3 per person or $10 unlimited play). This is a “Mission Impossible”-style timed course and has players ducking, diving, and rolling to navigate the obstacles as quickly as possible to complete the objective without breaking the laser. Even though I did not go on a few of the rides (I was a little too big), I saw that the little kids who did enjoyed themselves very much. Full of fun and adventure, Belmont Park is a great way to spend the day, and I’m sure to be coming back this summer.
