The Grand Forks Skate Park has provided the Boundary region’s youth and young-at-heart, with an opportunity to participate in easy-to-access physical activity and pro-social interaction for close to twenty years. This increasingly popular facility is in need of repairs, upgrades, and growth in order to continue to provide a safe and functional recreational venue for the wide range of users it serves. This includes:
- Alterations to some existing features to enhance safety and usability
- A resurfacing and concrete-densification process to minimize further deterioration of existing park surfaces
- Removing distasteful graffiti
- An expansion plan that will provide new entry-level terrain and improved traffic flow
These initiatives have been broken down into three initiatives:
- Park revitalization
- Lighting installation
- Park expansion
The Grand Forks Skate Park Committee was formed with these goals in mind. We as volunteers are dedicated to the stewardship of the GF Skate park by improving its safety, inclusiveness, and user-ship amongst the Boundary community and its visitors.
Our youth-focused and the youth-driven group has partnered with the Boundary Chamber of Commerce and the City of Grand Forks to bring our park to new heights. Our efforts include:
- Applying for local and provincial grants
- Employing grassroots fundraising opportunities
- Growing awareness and support among community members, organizations, and businesses (through a growing social media presence, local events, and in-person communication)
As we move closer to achieving this revitalization process, we would like to offer your business the opportunity to be part of making a lasting impact on our youth’s physical, social and mental wellbeing while also building your brand as a key community partner. We are currently seeking sponsorship in the way of monetary and in-kind donations. If you are interested in donating materials or services, please see the materials and services list of what we require.
We invite you to have a look at our sponsorship package; we are eager to work with you and look forward to creating a dialogue with your business,
The Grand Forks Skate Park Committee
