DIY Skate Park
DIY Skate Park
Constructing, promoting, and maintaining a community-based DIY Skate Park on the under-utilized tennis courts in Claridge Park, to be operated by the City of Dayton Parks and Recreation.
The Collaboratory has convened a team of dedicated skateboarders and community partners to build Dayton’s FIRST and ONLY skatepark at Claridge Park in the McCook Field neighborhood.
Claridge DIY Park construction began in 2021. Phase 2 of the process is now underway and the skatepark will be completed this year, providing a free recreational space for the community and an opportunity for youth to make skateboarding their passion.
Follow our Instagram, Facebook, and GoFundMe for updates on construction, fundraisers, and exciting partnerships.
For more information about naming rights and sponsorship opportunities, or to volunteer to help build the obstacles, please contact David Schweitzer.
