Help us give Jasper’s skatepark the facelift it’s been waiting for!

Over the past six years, the Jasper Skatepark Committee has raised $106,000 toward this project and spent $56,000 on a detailed design by New Line Skateparks Inc, of Langley, BC. These guys are the industry leaders in skatepark design and they have come up with an amazing design for our current location.

With the design complete and paid for, that leaves us with just $50,000 toward the construction of our dream park, which has a price tag of $900,000.

Here’s where you come in! The Skatepark Committee is preparing to submit an application for an Alberta CFEP grant that could cover half of the project cost ($450,000). But in order to qualify, we have to first raise half of the project cost. 

That means we need to come up with $400,000 before the grant deadline: June 21, 2021.
Luckily we currently have leads on potential donors of $200,000 but they would like to see us match this amount on our end.  So the pressure is on for us to get serious and make this happen!

If we qualify for this grant in 2021, it could make a world of difference, as construction costs are increasing 3 to 6 percent a year, increasing the project price tag every year. 


With the onset of COVID restrictions and the challenges that all communities are facing during this time, free and accessible outdoor recreation areas for all ages, especially youth, are becoming more and more essential. With the increasing issue of mental health and the decrease in active lifestyles among youth, we are seeing an immense need to provide proper venues for our youth to grow and thrive in a positive community setting and skateparks have proven to be one of the best ways to engage and bring people together in an active, healthy community setting.    

Come on Jasper, we need your help! Let’s invest in our youth and build the skatepark we’ve all been dreaming of! Let's do this!
