Help Our Cause

You can donate directly to the skatepark fund that is monitored by our treasurer at PayPal or through the Anacortes Parks Foundation. If donating through the Anacortes Parks Foundation, 10% of the funds will be kept by the Foundation, and be sure to put "Skate park" in the memo or the funds will not go towards the skate park. 

Now that we have rebuilt the Anacortes Skate Park to with Grindline, we are supporting continued maintenance and events at the Park in close cooperation with the City of Anacortes and in collaboration with the Parks and Recreation Department. 

The Anacortes Skate Park Improvement Project is a 501(c)(3) organized for the purpose of lessening the burden on the Anacortes City government through the support of the Parks and Recreation Department, reducing delinquency and building community through building, maintaining, and improving Anacortes Skate Park(s) and supporting events, workshops, and classes at the Park(s).
