CANDY COURTS – Montclair, NJ – The Skatepark Project
Local skaters and advocates worked tirelessly for years to generate the momentum and support needed for the creation of a public skatepark in their town.
Antonello Terran and Skate Essex led the charge and shared the vision for the needed amenity working with the city and obtaining a TSP grant. As the stars aligned, professional skateboarder, Olympian and architect Alexis Sablone was brought in to make this space truly unique.
Check out the opening day festivities and learn from Alexis about how each of these playful and accessible obstacles came to be. Learn more about how to get a skatepark built in your town at www.skatepark.org.
More Than Skateparks, We Build Community!
The Skatepark Project isn’t just committed to supporting the creation of public skateparks, it’s working to promote greater access to outdoor recreation, free play, and community building which has been shown to benefit physical and mental health and well-being.
Free public skateparks are a long-term, low-maintenance solution for fostering active, happy, and purposeful youth. These recreational facilities provide a space for kids to connect and enjoy the sport they love while learning essential life skills, like determination and resilience.
As the champion of quality public skateparks, The Skatepark Project is a trusted resource for guidance, financial support, and information essential for building technically sound skateparks that serve the unique needs of each community and prioritize the input of youth advocates, skatepark users, and community members.
