THE BROOKLYN SKATE GARDEN
IS FUNDED!
The Brooklyn Skate Garden has been officially funded to make our dream a reality in Mount Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Thank you to the Mayor’s office, Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Marty Maher of NYC Parks, and our City Council Members Shahana Hanif, Crystal Hudson, and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. A big thanks goes out to The Skatepark Project whose support has been instrumental. We are forever thankful to all of the volunteers and NYC Skaters who have supported us by attending our events and getting behind our mission since 2019.
The vision of BSG, inspired by The Pablo Ramirez Foundation, honors the legacy of Pablo Ramirez, whose life was the catalyst for this project. Pablo grew up skating the streets of Brooklyn, NYC, and ultimately became a professional skateboarder. The BSG will be a haven for our youth and community. We are beyond thrilled to plant seeds and nourish our green spaces at our Mount Prospect Park home, in the cultural heart of Brooklyn. We welcome your support! We will continue to share BSG news and updates.
