(Vista, CA) – Now in its tenth year helping fund public skateparks, the Tony Hawk Foundation launches its Summer 2011 grant season today.

Just like facilities for more traditional sports, skateparks should be free and accessible. The Tony Hawk Foundation favors grassroots projects that involve skaters in the planning and design of the park, and that seek to build quality and durable skateparks that don’t require fees or memberships to use. Full details about Tony Hawk Foundation grant criteria are available on the Foundation’s Web site.
Since 2002, the Tony Hawk Foundation has awarded over $3.8-million in grants to 481 skatepark projects in 49 states. With 388 of those projects open and serving more than 3.5-million visitors annually, the Tony Hawk Foundation has helped fund more than twelve percent of the approximately 3,000 skateparks nationwide.
Hi All,
A working group here in Wrightsville Beach is diligently working to compile a proposal and presentation for our Park and Recreation Committee and the Board of Alderman in support of a local skate park. For over ten years efforts to support and fund a skate park have not been embraced, but we think we may have a chance this year. We would like to include the names and locations of the 481 skatepark projects located in the 49 states and the 388 funded in part by the Tony Hawk Foundation. Would it be possible for you to provide me with this information or can you point me in the right direction to locate it?
Many thanks for your assistance and consideration.
