The Skatepark Project

Built to play program: with matching-grant funds of up to $250,000 and a supplemental grant of up to $50,000 to encourage environmentally friendly design and construction, the built to play skatepark program supports community groups and municipal entities seeking to create free, public skateparks for underserved communities in southeast michigan and western new york. The program also provides advisory services and advocacy training to assist groups in organizing and managing their efforts.

Fellowship program: the tsp fellowship program is a twelve month, two-phase training and project design opportunity. Through training, mentorship, and resources, tsp will build more knowledgeable, diverse and equipped skate park advocates, designers and programmers. The program is designed to include a diverse group of bipoc people aged 12-24. After successful matriculation, we hope to encourage the growth of skatepark advocates.

Supply the ride program: the supply the ride program is a program that provides community members, especially young members, with free skateboards, helmets and pads.
