The Warm Springs Skatepark, located in the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, OR is a true example of the power of community efforts to rebuild the only skatepark in the Warm Springs area.
The existing park on the reservation was unsafe and inadequate for the community and in such disrepair that local kids had been hitchhiking to the nearest skatepark, which was miles away and outside of the reservation. With new elements added to the cherished skate spot, the refurbished park will provide indigenous youth with a safe space to be active and build community around the sport of skateboarding.
