I’m Raymond, and I’m reaching out on behalf of the Woonsocket Skatepark Revitalization Project. Located currently at Hamlet Ave, the skatepark is one of many approaches at creating a haven for skateboarders, BMX riders, scooter enthusiasts, and rollerbladers of all ages over the last 30 years. Unfortunately, the park was left to the elements and now shows significant wear and tear. This not only limits its usability but also poses real safety risks for everyone who enjoys it. Our community deserves a safe, sustainable, and modern space where we can gather, stay active, and support one another. Upgrading the park would promote healthy, active lifestyles—especially for our youth, who need constructive outdoor activities close to school and home. It would also help boost local commerce by connecting the Cass Park Complex and surrounding businesses, creating a vibrant corridor for our city.

While the Woonsocket Skatepark Revitalization Project continues to lobby and advocate for immediate improvements, the funds raised here will go directly toward the ultimate goal, the construction of a new skatepark. Sadly, there is no free skatepark grant. Many grants for skateparks require a certain amount of community contributions as part of the many requirements to qualify. I invite you to help us transform Woonsocket Skatepark into a state-of-the-art facility that will sustain our community for decades to come. Please donate, share this fundraiser, sign our petition, and follow the WSRP Woonsocket Skatepark Revitalization Project on social media for updates, contests, and giveaways. Your support—whether big or small—will help us build a safer, more inclusive space for everyone. Thank you for believing in our community and helping us make this dream a reality.
