The Kevin Peare Memorial Skate Park :
We are raising funds to build a skate park in memory of Kevin Peare. Conway native, skateboarding advocate, and great human being. Kevin’s dream as a young boy was to have a skate park in the Mount Washington Valley N.H. After his death in July of 2017, his sister Caren Wiggin reached out to The Tony Hawk Foundation to make his childhood dream reality. Your donation supports our efforts to build a State of the Art Skate Park. The need for this park is not just about the fun. It is about having a designated place for the skateboarding community. At this time they are using the street, vacant lots, and places like Settlers Green (outdoor shopping plaza) to skateboard. This park will be a free, safe clean outdoor space for the skateboarding community. The design will compliment the landscape of The Mount Washington Valley. The Park is Slated to be approx. 10,000 sq. ft. Cost to build is estimated to be $45 a square foot. The Park will take 2 to 5 years to come to completion.
The Tony Hawk foundation is guiding the KPMSP committee. The Tony Hawk foundation has more info here :
