Exciting News!
Together with the Town of Conway we have we now have created
a new sub committee.
This committee is dedicated to
to moving this project forward!
​​We have 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 are working on land selection
and grant money .
​
We are planning to stay on after the skate park is built to continue fundraising
to help with special design elements and maintenance costs.
" Keepers of the Skate Park"
We will continue to teach skateboarding 101 on our own, with a concentration on safety.

Kids deserve a place to go
Just like other sports ,
skateboarding
needs a designated place.
More than anyone,
young people need
to feel like they are
recognized and appreciated
by their communities.
Skateboarders
get the wrong message
from local authorities
who limit or outlaw
skateboarding
and ignore
its inherent benefits.
Skate parks are the solution.
Almost all
skateboarding deaths
and serious injuries
happen while they are
skateboarding
in the streets or parking lots.
Disabled children and children
with Autism
Skateboarding is a good fit for autistic kids because they are not social .For them they can skateboard on your own
Poverty
Approximately 25%
of children
in
the Conway area
are below
poverty level.
This makes them
not as equal as
other children
and every child
deserves to be able
to recreate.
One of the lowest
cost
sports is
skateboarding.
The average cost
of a
skateboard,
helmet and pads
is under $100.
