Help us continue to build on the dream that has already started by helping us complete the full build out of the Skate Park. Your donations help us reach our goal!
SKATEBOARDING IS THE SECOND FASTEST GROWING SPORT AND MORE POPULAR, AMONG YOUTH AGES SIX TO SEVENTEEN THAN BASEBALL!
It is estimated there are 4,000 skateboarders in Ocala and 22,000 in Marion County – generally 6.8% of the population, using national averages. These statistics demonstrate a cultural shift in recreational pursuits.
WE NEED YOU!
Individual and corporate level donations are critical in continuing these efforts. The $410,000 street course is just the first phase of the larger plan which includes a snake run, larger bowl, lighting, pavilion and other necessary amenities. Recreation and Parks Director Kathy Crile expects the community will continue their fundraising efforts to make completing all phases possible and timely.
