Our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but more importantly in the actions of our initiatives.

From the moment we started our work in 2017, we understood that by working together we could overcome any challenges.

Building a skate park has had a lot of those challenges, But we strive to make a positive change in our pursuit

to make the Mount Washington Valley a better place by giving the children a safe place to practice a sport they love.

The Mission Statement

To educate our community about the benefits skateboarding can have

on our youth’s individual mental and physical well-being

By providing a state of the art skateboard park

to improve their safety as well as empowering youth with positive alternative choices.

We are now considered a Town of Conway Park!

 Located off the new recreation path Hemlock lane North Conway NH ( to the left of Walmart)

This will be a State of the Art Skate Park, made of concrete, skate at your own risk and FREE to the public.

We are at approximately $117,500.00 raised, with an anonymous matching donation of $100,000.

We are just shy of $100,000 to build.  

We have just paid for our 1st stage in the design process with Pillar Designs   

We have been unanimously approved by the Conway select board

and our plans have been unanimously approved and recommended by the Conway Planning Board.

We have been working with Town Engineer Paul DegliAngeli and We are on track for groundbreaking 2025.

We are planning to stay on board after the skate park is built to continue fundraising

to help with special design elements and maintenance costs.

We will continue to teach skateboarding 101 with the after school program " Project Succeed"

and on our own, with a concentration on safety.

More About Us

The Kevin Peare Memorial Skate Park was started in September of 2017 by Caren and Anna Peare. The skate park will be in memory of (Caren’s brother, Anna’s son) Kevin Peare, a Conway Native who passed away at the age of 31 in July of 2017.His love of skateboarding and teaching it to anyone who wanted to learn, spearheaded this project. It was his dream to have a skate park in his hometown of Conway and for there to be a safe place to practice the sport. After Kevin’s passing Caren set out to make his dream a reality. She immediately reached out to the Tony Hawk Foundation (now The Skate Project).Alec Beck the Director contacted her back, the very next day. He has guided our group since the beginning. A meeting with town officials was held and we asked them for help with site selection. We told them they would do all the fundraising and would be guided by the Tony Hawk foundation. It was decided that the skate park will be given back to the town and be considered Town of Conway property. Since then , The Kevin Peare Memorial skate park Committee has been raising funds to build a skate park for over 6 years, Holding family and community style fundraising events. 

These events are important so we can talk with the local community and educate them about our mission.​​
