to provide the community with a

community and provide invaluable

connection.
Part of our role is also to raise
awareness. Skateparks are often
surrounded by a stigma that they are
frequented by troublemakers and
that it’s not a “traditional sport” and
the riders can be discriminated
against for this, we advocate for the
clear benefts that a high quality
accessible park can achieve for
skateboarders, scooters, BMX and
roller
skaters.
Our initiative aims to strengthen
community connections by creating a
space for a multi-generational
community to come together, enjoy
recreation and the benefts that
provides.| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
