The finish line to the first skatepark in Chester

We are almost at the finish line for the skatepark at Toby Farms in Chester Township! This will be the first ADA-compliant ground-up concrete skatepark in Delaware County. And we want to make sure it is awesome.

One of our grant sources fell through, so we need to raise $6500 to finish this project. Given that we have one opportunity to make the most of this sweet space, we want to add to the park's footprint and create a shallow-end pool pocket.

In the pictures below you can see what was originally designed and what we are raising additional funds for. Any money above the goal of $6500 will expand the deck space behind the new pool pocket and china bank.

We love this park and want to make it amazing for all the newbie skaters in Chester Township. Worrilow Park backs up to the Toby Farms Intermediate School, a middle school with 300 kids. Our goal is to give them space to play and be creative! Who knows . . . maybe the next Olympic skater gets their start right here in Chester.

As the Delco Skatepark Coalition, it's our mission to help build great skateparks for riders at all levels. Skating is for everyone and we believe the best parks should be ADA-compliant, great for adaptive riders and progressive for all skating abilities. Please help us get over the hump with this park!
