About Us
The Youngstown Skatepark Association 501(c)(3) was formed in November 2024 by a passionate group of individuals who grew up skateboarding together. Our organization was born out of a shared vision to create a safe, inclusive space for people of all ages to recreate, connect, and develop their skills in skateboarding, BMX, inline skating, and scootering.
We believe that action sports serve as powerful tools for community building, self-expression, and youth empowerment. Our purpose is to advocate for and facilitate the development of a world class public skatepark in Youngstown, ensuring that future generations have access to a dedicated space where they can safely pursue their passion.

Be Part of the Movement
Youngstown is home to a strong and growing community of skateboarders, BMX riders, rollerbladers, and other action sports enthusiasts. However, the city currently lacks a dedicated space for these activities, forcing individuals to use streets, sidewalks, and parking lots—creating safety hazards and limiting recreational opportunities.
A public skatepark would provide a safe, accessible, and inclusive environment while fostering youth engagement, urban revitalization, and economic development.
Youngstown deserves a safe, inclusive space for action sports, and you can help make it happen. Whether by donating or volunteering your time, your support brings us closer to building a skatepark that will engage youth, revitalize our city, and grow our community. Join us today!
