[They] also help remove barriers by offering access to skateboarding equipment and resources, ensuring every young person can participate, regardless of their financial circumstances.”
More: The Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Foundation), founded in 2002, has successfully funded and helped build nearly 700 public skateparks across all 50 U.S. states, providing over 9 million annual visitors with safe places to skate. The nonprofit has awarded over $13 million in grants, focusing on underserved communities to foster community, mental health, and physical activity.
Key accomplishments include:
- Infrastructure Growth: Supported the construction of over 600-700 skateparks, with hundreds more in development. In 2024 alone, 15 new parks opened across 10 states.
- Underserved Communities: Focused on building in low-income areas, rural spots, and Native American reservations to provide access to safe, free, high-quality public skateparks.
- Equipment & Programming: Through the "Supply the Ride" program, the project has distributed hundreds of skateboards, helmets, pads, and BMX bikes to youth.
- Advocacy & Education: The organization helps local advocates navigate the process of building skateparks, offering training and resources to create sustainable, community-driven spaces.
- Social Impact: Promotes mental and physical health, fostering a sense of belonging for youth and creating spaces that, according to studies, often lead to a decrease in local youth crime.
