Help Us Build a Safe and Sustainable Skatepark for Las Vegas
Our Mission
We are excited to announce our initiative to build a state-of-the-art skate park in Las Vegas, New Mexico. We are currently partnered with a highly experienced grant writer, a grant evaluator, and professional skatepark designer and builder; Matthew and Sasha Lamstein, and Bobby King of SkateEcosystems, respectively.
With their talents, and pledge of support, and our fundraising efforts combined, all that we are lacking is an Endorsement from the city, such as a promissory agreement, to guarantee the designation of a given piece of property, for the permanent use as a free public park, creating a lasting value for families and youth in our community for generations!
Our idea: transforming the site of the former Elks Lodge at 917 Douglas (now owned by the city) into a vibrant hub for youth and families. Restoring the site into something beautiful and practical, an outdoor recreational space in the heart of the proposed entertainment district of Historic Douglas Plaza.
Because of the site’s proximity to Lincoln Park, Lion’s park, Bridge Street and the Plaza, as well as being just a block away from the River Gallinas Park Trailhead… We can easily foresee a profitable future for all businesses in the Old Towne areas, as a fun and functioning outdoor space is likely to increase traffic and activity in the area. Further, we do believe the easy accessibility for kids and families all across town is paramount to the success of a free public outdoor space!
With an estimated total project cost of $400,000, this will be one of the most impactful community projects our city has seen in years. We are committed to raising the funds necessary for making this dream come true!
The skate park will:
- Provide a free, safe, and healthy outdoor space for 300+ youth, and families annually.
- Incorporate environmentally sustainable, and aesthetically beautiful design, including recycled materials and water-wise landscaping.
- Revitalize and beautify, a blighted and hazardous property into a source of pride, safety, and community connection.
- Offer youth-led workshops and clinics focused on recreation, sustainability, personal growth, and responsibility.
We are seeking charitable contributions from community members, businesses, and organizations like yours, to help make this vision a reality. Your support will not only impact the lives of young people today but also build a legacy of health, safety, and opportunity for generations to come.
