Altadena, CA Supply the Ride Giveaway with Altadena Boys – The Skatepark Project

At the beginning of this year, the Eaton Canyon Fire devastated the community of Altadena, CA, and surrounding areas. Youth lost more than their homes – they lost their outlet for joy, creativity, and self-expression. At TSP, we know skateboarding is more than a hobby – it’s freedom, community, and normalcy, especially in tough times.

Thanks to the community’s unwavering spirit and partnership with Altadena Boys, The Skatepark Project brought some joy back to the Alta Dena youth through our Supply the Ride program. Together they distributed skateboards, safety gear, shoes, clothes, and more to help these kids reconnect with their passion for skating – some even discovering it for the first time!

Warm Springs Skatepark, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, OR – The Skatepark Project

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.
