Bacon and Eggs skatepark feature

At the heart of this Gofundme is the belief that we can help the small town of Wilkeson Washington by building something special that attracts visitors who spend money and secure the economic success any small town needs to flourish. 

Wilkeson sits in the foothills of Mount Rainier; it's 50 miles from the hustle and bustle of Seattle. Once a much larger town with thriving coal and sandstone industries, it's now home to just 480 proud residents, and is a drive-through for thousands of visitors to Mt Rainier. 

Imagine how lives in the town could benefit from more of those visitors stopping on their way through!

This is where local pop artist and long-standing resident, John Hillding, comes in with his dream to build skate able art alongside the hiking trail that runs through the town. Not just a skate park and a fun place to picnic, but also a work of art. A re-creation of a frying pan with bacon and eggs! Not only does this encourage more people to stop on their way through, it also becomes an attraction in itself

We need $35,000, and have raised $6000 already. On its own, a small rural town would never raise the funds for a project like this. This is where you come in. With your help, this could easily become a reality. A donation of just 10 or 20 dollars could be the difference for the project, for the town, for all of the people who live in it. Please consider helping us today. 

Thank you for visiting, for your interest, and your time!  For more information visit our website at:

The Bacon and Eggs Skate Park Project is organized with the support of the Foothills Rails-to-Trails Coalition, a registered 501(c)3 charity that exists to assist Pierce County communities in the creation, maintenance, and usage of a connected system of non-motorized trails for healthier people from Mt. Rainier to Puget Sound.  The Bacon and Eggs Skate Park stands alongside the trail in Wilkeson, Washington.  By partnering with us, the Foothills Rails-to-Trails Coalition ensures that donations to the project are tax-exempts.
