Our Impact & Future Goals

Why a Skatepark Matters

Youngstown is home to a strong and growing action sports community, yet it currently lacks a dedicated facility. This forces riders into streets, parking lots, and sidewalks—creating safety risks and limiting opportunity. A public skatepark addresses this need while delivering broad community benefits, including:

  • Youth Engagement & Recreation – A safe, designated space for action sports

  • Public Safety – Reduced injuries and property damage

  • Economic Growth – Increased visitors, events, and support for local businesses

  • Community Building – Inclusive space for mentorship and social connection

  • Crime Reduction – Positive, structured outlets for youth

  • Health & Well-being – Encourages outdoor activity and active lifestyles

Looking Ahead

YSA is actively working toward:

  • Developing a high-quality, concrete skatepark and pump track

  • Securing local, state, and national grant funding

  • Building partnerships with businesses, organizations, and community leaders

  • Hosting events, pop-ups, and programming that promotes the need for a skatepark

Sponsorships play a critical role in making this vision a reality.
