SPRING 2021 SKATEPARK CONSTRUCTION GRANT WINNERS ANNOUNCED

(Vista, CA) – As the nation continues to overcome COVID-19 challenges, the local skatepark project is still in progress. Advocates from all over the country are working hard to provide a free and accessible skatepark for their community to enjoy. Out of the hundreds of communities that we provide technical assistance to each quarter, around thirty projects applied for a TSP Skatepark Construction Grant.

With the help of the Grants Committee and approval of TSP’s Board of Directors, we’re pleased to announce this semester’s winning grant applicants.

Technical Assistance

Many of this semester’s grant recipients were receiving ongoing Technical Assistance from The Skatepark Project staff.  While TSP Skatepark Grants provide both tangible financial assistance and an exclusive status that often attracts other grants and donations, the core work of The Skatepark Project is to educate both skatepark advocates and local leaders on the process of developing a proper skatepark.

Communities seeking to develop public skateparks should begin by studying the information at www.publicskateparkguide.org, which covers every step of the skatepark process, from creating a vision to skatepark design and construction. For communities further along in the process, the next grant cycle window opens on December 15th, 2020. Learn more about The Skatepark Project Grants and Built to Play Grants.
