Cleanup Day at the Conlon Family Skatepark

On July 26th, help us restore and spruce up our skate space so everyone can enjoy safer skating, biking, and scooting. We'll be removing trash, clearing debris, and making minor repairs to ensure our skatepark remains a welcoming place for skaters of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a regular at the park or just want to support your local community, all help is appreciated.

Update on Skate Raleigh’s Stolen Equipment Trailer
Update on Skate Raleigh’s Stolen Equipment Trailer

As you might have seen previously, Skate Raleigh had an enclosed trailer stolen earlier this week. The trailer contained all of our new equipment from Keen Ramps, OC Ramps, and Evolution Ramps—gear that was meant to bring pop-up skateparks to spaces all around Raleigh.

Why Skateparks?

Skateparks are communal spaces where all ages can gather, fostering social interactions and strengthening community.

Fourth Economy

They attract both local and visiting skateboarders, leading to increased patronage of nearby businesses stimulating the local economy. ​

Planet Money

Skateparks reduce damage to private property, decrease illicit behaviors in youth , and save lives by providing safe places in public to skate.

Support for Skate Raleigh

“Skateboarders have a hard time finding a place to do their sport, and so they tend to go places where they aren’t necessarily welcome. This (skatepark) provides that opportunity to give them a safe place to practice where they can feel at home with their buddies—and they and their parents know that they’re going to be OK, and they’re going to be safe.”
— Sig Hutchinson, Wake County Commissioner
