Let's Fix and Improve Pop's Skatepark!

Pop's skatepark, located at Trenton & Hazzard in Kensington, needs some TLC.

 

Built in 2008, Pop's skatepark has been bringing people together from local communities and beyond to be outside, to be physically active, to be social and to have fun. But, as of late, the skatepark is a little beat up; cracked surfaces, dilapidated obstacles, and weathered hardware make the space a less visited destination.

 

We're not looking to rebuild the park, we'd just like to smooth out surfaces, improve obstacles, add a few fun things, and pretty it up with some paint. With these ambitions, it takes elbow-grease, which is free, but it also takes supplies, materials, and certain tools which are not free.

 

So, we are reaching out to you, fellow skaters and community members, to help us gather funds to fix and update Pop's skatepark to make it a safer environment. You don't have to give your life savings, just a few bucks* here and there will help greatly. The power of one is good, but the power of many is great.

 

We are planning to do these repairs in early November 2021 so we're not setting concrete in the freezing cold. Pop's skatepark has greatly contributed to the community for over 10 years and here's your chance to give back and show some love.
