🚨 NOVEMBER 16th @ 11am🚨
After years of hard work and meeting with the city, it’s finally here! Emerson park is going to open to the public. Thanks to the people who sat in the on the meetings and had inclusivity towards the input of making this happen.
Sitting in the masterplaning meetings in 2020 we would have never thought this would happen. But through pushing the narrative about skateboarding and action sports through business and customer service, we banded together to get it done. The group that made this happen was The Grand Valley Communith Skate Foundation. Not an organized foundation, but a group that was passionate to speak for those who didn’t have a voice in the room.
We are grateful to have had the opportunity to influence the city to make this become a reality. Thanks to and their team. Thanks to for hearing us. Thanks to the group of dysfunctional skaters who tried so hard and took time when it felt like there was no end in site. Thanks to for making the compelling speeches to city council and being our spokes person. Thanks to for the knowledge and influence on how to approach the city for a project like this. Thanks to and his family for being supporters of the skate community with and for sitting in to speak to city council and getting shoved to the corner not being able to speak because the time ran out and bedtime approached. Thanks to for the awesome graphics he made for our foundation and showing up to the meetings spitting knowledge to parks and rec. Thanks to .sale for supporting the skate community and putting together events that no one else is willing to do to keep the culture alive. And thanks to all the other dudes who showed up when they had time. It’s all of us and the influence the internet had that made this happen. It takes a tribe and no one singular person could get this done the way we did.
In our mind, it’s the legacy MF left behind. We are proud to have gotten the opportunity to help engage with the public and influence Mesa county to get Central redone, Fruita’s Reed Park done, and now this! All 🖤

🚨REED SKATEPARK IN FRUITA HAS A GOFUNDME🚨

The Grand Valley Community Skate Foundation has been working closely with the City of Fruita over the past few years to aid in the development of a new skate and wheel park.

The Reed Park project has started and the demo process has begun. The City of Fruita and the builder selected for the skatepark portion of the project, American Ramp Company (ARC), will have the wheel park completed by the end of next summer 2024.

ARC is slated to begin work in March/April and will take approximately 12 weeks to complete the project.

The majority of funding has already been accumulated, but we need help from our community to raise the last portion of money needed for the project.

To start our goal off strong and to give back to those who want to assist us, we are offering a free Grand Valley Community Skate Foundation t shirt, designed by local artist EXTEENAGER, to the first 5 people to contribute $50 or more to our cause. (T shirt graphic is last pic)

This park is an amazing opportunity for our community, and will be a great addition to the City of Fruita for a multitude of reasons. We are so grateful for all of the support that we have received during this process, and any future contributions that help to complete the funding for this project.

Link in the bio. Please share this post so that we can meet our goal. Thank you!!!

Thank you for all of the support from the foundation members who were diligently there volunteering their time. Thank you to the city staff who helped us push for the project to get done. To the skatepark community members who participated in surveys, public input, and supporting this project. 🙏👊
The skatepark is approved but the work has just begun. Members of the Grand Valley Community Skate Foundation will be doing updates and pop ups for fund raising for the park.

Till then, will be breaking ground in early 2024 between February-April. Updates will be posted soon.
In case anyone was wondering or cares, the pic was taken of our first walk through at Emerson in early 2022. 🔥🔥🔥 Much love, we’ve all waited a loooong time for this. ❤️🛹

🚨 OPENING THIS WEEKEND 🚨
The crews down at Long Family Memorial have been working hard putting this newly renovated skatepark together.
It has been awesome being a part of helping the skate and wheel community to get this park renovated. It’s been long over due. We helped get the County to approve the budget to replace the entire park.
Although we were not directly involved in the design, the community survey that was sent out earlier this year was taken into consideration when designing it.
Lastly, for those who don’t know, we are a part of a collective group of individuals who advocate for our wheel community. This group consists of skaters, bikers, business owners, and enthusiasts who volunteer their time to make these things come to fruition. This group is called Grand Valley Community Skate Foundation (GVCSF). That being said, if you have any concerns about the park, please feel free to voice your opinion to us in a DM. We will relay the message to the correct source. This helps streamline the process for things to be addressed and fixed in the future.
Anyways, please take care of this park. If you see someone messing around, please say something. Take pictures, if need be. Vandalism should not be tolerated. We will not be getting a new park here for a LONG time. Take pride in your community. Skateparks are for the kids and shredding.
Be on the lookout for pop-ups and events from MF and GVCSF in the future to help fund raise for future skateparks in the area.
