Since 2004, Parents for Skateparks has been connecting kids of all ages to resources for building skateparks in their very own neighborhoods.
We support skateboarding advocacy in all shapes and sizes, and by people from all walks of life, with or without children of their own.
Our work is focused on expanding the traditional "stroller set" paradigm of playground design and construction to include and encourage the skaters of the future.
We believe this is a positive way to help our kids be happy, healthy citizens of twenty-first century America.

We received a 2021-22 Community Partnership Grant to conduct a feasibility study and conceptual design process at Rainier Beach Playfield. The project deliverables are available below:
Thanks to Councilmember Tammy J. Morales for supporting a $2M allocation in the Seattle Park District budget for the skatepark! We continue to work directly with Parks toward construction in 2024, and have also received a $15K grant from King County.
