After several years of advocacy and fundraising, threats by the town to cut funding, construction of a temporary skatepark and location changes, the skaters, led by the Skaters Coalition for Concrete, of Pagosa Springs are getting a new concrete skatepark.

Pillar Design Studios designed a small park to match the small budget of $80,000. Who Skates is constructing the skatepark at Yamaguchi Park, which is located at 684 S. 5th St. in Pagosa Springs.

Steamboat Springs just kicked off a fundraising effort for Phase II of the Bear River Skatepark. Team Pain Skateparks designed and constructed the first phase, which is 9,000 square feet. The park opened 2 years ago.

The Skatepark Alliance plans to sell bricks that can be engraved, which will be priced from $150 to $1,000. The Alliance, along with the city, also hopes to secure grants for the next phase.

You can help make the next phase a reality! Donations can be made in the name of the “Steamboat Skatepark Alliance” to the “Yampa Valley Community Foundation.” For more information, call Casson at (970) 846-1599.
