Compared to the greater Orlando area, Lake Nona is void of any place for kids to recreate on skateboards, scooters or BMX bikes.

We want to create a top quality concrete skatepark in Lake Nona, Orlando in order to provide a safe, family orientated and all inclusive free-to-use sports facility for our community. By having a skatepark in our community, we aim to help promote a healthy and active lifestyle, increase social integration, and improve social cohesion.

There are the social benefits of providing a facility for young people, and particularly at-risk youth, to pursue an athletic activity that they love. There are public health benefits to having a safe place for young people to develop active lifestyles away from the risks found in the streets.

One of the great things about skateboarding is how it brings members of the community together. On any given day at a well-functioning and supported skatepark, you can see all age groups, from the 5 year old supervised by a parent, to the group of teenagers having their own skate session, to the older skaters who love the sport as much or more than the teens. In public recreation areas where there are other amenities such as baseball and soccer fields, playground, picnic areas, tennis courts, and indoor swim and workout areas, the skatepark tends to get the most traffic and use.
