Skate Park Progress Update!! 5/6/2026
Kevin’s Dream Is Getting Closer!
We are excited to share some major progress
on the skate park!
After 8 1⁄2 years filled with challenges,
especially finding the right piece of land,
we are thrilled that land selection is no longer an obstacle.
The park will still be located off Hemlock Lane,
now to the right of the paved cul-de-sac.
The site survey is underway, which will locate the
Pillar’s skate park design on the property;
The site has been assessed for soils, drainage,
and any necessary grading;
The Town has received authorization to move forward with the funding request from the State;
The grant final submittal was due Jan 9th and we’re excited to say we met that dead line!!
At this point, we are working possible park programming
and finalizing the master plan for potential future development.
When our journey began in 2017, the estimated cost of a 10,000 sq. ft. skate park was about $325,000. Today, that cost has more than doubled.
We have raised through Grass roots and grants
Almost $400,000
We are crossing our fingers we get the matching grant. That was submitted 1/9/26!
Obtaining this matching grant
will allow us to break ground!
We are not going anywhere!
Just patiently waiting for all the red tape to clear!
We’re incredibly grateful
for the support we’ve already received!
Thank you to everyone who has donated thus far!
This park will be built by the generous community
we are so proud to be a part of.
Together we can do anything
we put our minds & hearts to!
Below the Selectmen's report gave our updated status
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
with our community,
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.

Mark your calendars!
In August 2025, we lost our biggest cheerleader.
Kevin's grandfather Howard, passed away of leukemia,
We decided to rename the annual car show in his honor.
It will now be called the Howard R. Hatch Memorial Car Show.
Please join us Sunday June 7th 10-2
to raise money for the skate park
and honor a Native of the Mount Washington Valley
