Addition to Payne Skatepark

Hello Everyone!
On behalf of the skateboarders of Sarasota county, Jake ilardi has started a fundraiser for a new addition to Payne Skatepark! We want to add a 20 foot wide X 4-1/2 foot tall 1/4 pipe in the street section. Jake needs this addition to help him get speed for the “big section” of the park to practice tricks for the upcoming summer Olympics in Tokyo. Jake will be one of the 4 U.S. Skaters going to Tokyo to represent the USA Skateboarding team. Jake is also having this addition added to the park for the rest of the community. This addition will provide a new obstacle for the skaters to ride and will improve the flow of the skate park.
The city has minimal funding due to Covid budget cuts so they have asked us to raise the money ourselves for this addition. We have partnered up with Chris Cantwell and Tom Sanger pools to help build this quarter pipe. We are estimating up to $15,000 to be needed for the budget to cover all of the cost.

We are teaming up with local businesses to offset the cost of some of the landscape and construction. PJ H local skater has agreed to mitigate 3 palm trees that need to be moved for construction for free!We can’t thank Tom Sanger Pools enough for helping get this project on its feet.

We are working hard for our local skate Community and we’re looking for you to help us in return!
