Warm Springs Skate Park Opening - KWSO Warm Springs Program Podcast

The Skate Park Foundation, founded in 2002 by professional skater Tony Hawk, helped raise funds to restore the Confederated Tribe of Warm Springs’ only Skate Park. This foundation alongside Collective Concrete & Construction, as well as Tactics and many other sponsorships, did their part through volunteering and non-profit efforts to rebuild and improve the skatepark. With the help of the Warm Springs Tribal council and the Warm Springs Community Action Team, they all came together to add new, sophisticated additions to the Quinn Skatepark such as its revamped skating deck area, improved mini and vertical ramps, and much more. The Skate Park Project/Foundation’s goal is to help the youth by putting out grants to low-income communities to build incredible skate parks that provide a safe, inclusive space for youth of all ages. KWSO was at the Grand Opening with DJ Medina playing some tunes. We talked to folks who were present about the new Skate Park.
