Here's just a small sampling of skateparks and skate spots we've helped preserve over the years.

ALGA NORTE SKATEPARK & CARLSBAD SKATEPARK 2.28.21, CARLSBAD, CA

Peloton reached out to us wanting to volunteer with their community outreach program. We were able to get both teams together to clean two skateparks in one morning, Alga Norte Skatepark and Old Carlsbad Skatepark. 30 volunteers helped pick up around 150 lbs of trash at the two parks. We were able to make some coping repairs at Alga too. Great people doing great things together. Both parks were cleaner and safer as a result of everyone’s efforts. HUGE Thank you to the amazing team at Peloton for helping clean! (Thanks to Kevin Spencer for the video!)

VISTA SKATEPARK 11.16.19, VISTA, CA

We partnered up again with Vista Skatepark Coalition and the City of Vista to clean up the skatepark (both parks) and the surrounding areas. We had an awesome turnout of 40 volunteers who helped clean the parks, remove all debris, scrub the benches, clean the parking areas and alleyways, and removed weeds and trash from surrounding business lots. Our cleanup efforts filled 60 trash bags!! WOW! We finished the event with a raffle with tons of product donated by local skateshops Skate7 and The House, H Street Skateboards, Punkstix, and many others. Thanks to all who helped keep Vista Skatepark clean.

WEST LA COURTHOUSE CLEANUP 9.8.19, LOS ANGELES, CA

On 9/8/19 we cleaned up the West LA Courthouse, a historic skate spot. We arrived early to find the place covered in trash, leaves, sleeping homeless, graffiti, and more. Our volunteers joined in the cleanup and we swept and blew all the debris and picked up all trash in the planter benches and surrounding areas. The graffiti was painted over and we skated a cleaner and safer spot as the local Farmer’s Market vendors were setting up. They appreciated our efforts and a good time was had by all.

MARATHON CLEANUP 8.11.19, OCEANSIDE AND CARLSBAD, CA

We started at 5:55am with a goal to clean and skate 5 skateparks in 5 hours. We started at Bishop Skatepark in Oceanside, then MLK skatepark in Oceanside, then Alga Norte in Carlsbad, Carlsbad Skatepark in Carlsbad, and ended at Prince Skatepark in Oceanside. We cleaned the parks and surrounding areas, picking up all trash, sweeping the park and walkways, and wiped down what we could. The parks shined and we skated free of debris. The locals enjoyed our efforts and joined in on the fun. It was a whirlwind cleanup day and we were beat but it was so worth it and we look forward to more soon.

ANN ARBOR SKATEPARK-SKATEPARK HERO 6.23.19, ANN ARBOR, MI

On 6.23.19 we helped celebrate the Ann Arbor Skatepark 5 Year Anniversary with hundreds of skaters and community members. The park is a labor of love project that came to fruition because of the amazing and diligent community. The celebration included food, professional skaters Andy Macdonald, Alec Beck, Janthavy Norton, Gabby Rataiczak, a raffle, and dance exhibition by local kids.

A Mayoral Decree and award was given to a local legend who has made the park his pet project since before day one. David Swain has been skating since 1963 and in Ann Arbor, he has been a huge presence in the skateboarding community, helping get the park built, cleaning it daily, and always being a positive influence on the skaters at the park. Both the City of Ann Arbor and Skatepark Respect recognize David Swain as the first recipient of the Skatepark Respect, Inc. Skatepark Hero Award. Here he is holding his award and a likeness award of him made by our very own Jayson Lee.
