 Hundreds of hours of planning, advocacy and fundraising goes into every public skatepark. These advocates would often go it alone. Skatepark groups were making the same time-consuming mistakes or missing out on important information. With Skaters for Public Skateparks and its first-ever skatepark advocacy handbook, the Public Skatepark Development Guide, skatepark proponents can hit the ground running and pick up tips and tricks from the same individuals who are behind some of the nation's most respected and talked-about skateparks.
The Guide is arranged chronologically so you can easily find the information you need when you need it. Filled with photos and diagrams, you will gain a clear picture of the whole process while more difficult concepts are explained in an easy-to-understand way.
Thanks to a generous partnership with the International Association of Skatepark Companies (IASC) and the Tony Hawk Foundation , we can offer you the the Guide for free. Yup, you read that right. You only need to pay a small shipping and handling charge of about $6. Order one (or two) right now at www.skateparkguide.org!
The entire Guide is also available to read for free online right here .

At Skaters for Public Skateparks you'll find the most up-to-date and expert information on skatepark development. Whether you're a long-standing contributor or this is your first visit, we're sure you'll get the answers you need.
SPS volunteers are active in over 30 states and four countries.
Some things have changed around here recently. If you're familiar with SPS you'll notice a brand new layout. Furthermore, SPS now offers even more editorial content through the partnership with skatepark.org and it's growing all the time. If you have skatepark questions, you've come to the right place.
To get the answers you need, the best place to start is with the online Skatepark Development Guide. This is the collected wisdom and instruction from the nation's most effective skatepark advocates. If it can be done, they've done it and if it can't be done, they've probably tried it.
You'll find that the skatepark development content is divided into easy-to-follow chapters arranged in chronological order. So, if you're new to skatepark advocacy you'll want to check out the Vision and Advocacy chapters. Those of you with a solid grasp of the process that have more exacting needs may want to jump into the Fundraising or Design chapters. If you're a Parks administrator with questions about your existing skateparks or you are facing a passionate group of local skaters eager for changes in your area's offerings, you may want to check out the Management chapter.
If all else fails you are invited to contact our enthusiastic volunteer staff directly via the Forums . If face-to-face meetings are more your style, take a look in the Staff Directory to see if there's a volunteer near you. Questions about Skaters for Public Skateparks may be directed to the SPS staff.
Some Things Haven't Changed!
Since its creation, SPS has been and continues to be an all-volunteer, non-profit organization. We have nothing to sell. Our simple mission is to help communities create better skateparks. That's all!
