Overview

We have a final design complete that can be found on our website (www.bemidjiskatepark.blogspot.com).  It will have bowls and transititions, as well as street plaza style terrain.  It will be Minnesota's first six foot tall park, since we were successful in our efforts to work with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust adjusting their skatepark policies statewide.We were one of three projects worldwide to recieve Tony Hawk Foundation's maximum grant of $25,000 because of our vision, organziation, and low-income rural community.  Other funders include Burton Snowboards, Nike, Shakopee Mdewanketon Sioux Community ($25,000), Nielson Foundation ($100,000), and many smaller business and community donations.  Our local Home Depot is behind the project, and will help us with this community build project.  The park will be free to use, will last for decades, and will get kids and adults off the couch and outside!
