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.
