Contribute to our Adaptive Skatepark Fundraiser!
Our goal is to raise money to build the world's first accessible skatepark in Michigan. It will be equipped with skateboards, pads, and adapted terrain for blind and low vision skateboarders.
The park will attract blind schools, organizations, rehabilitation centers, and other adaptive sports organizations to visit and experience skateboarding in a safe, uniquely inclusive setting.
We aim to design and build the first accessible skatepark for blind and low vision skateboarders. We will openly share ideas and technology we create so that existing skateparks worldwide can become more accessible for all skaters.
Calling all differently-abled skateboarders!
We want to share our love of skateboarding with you! If you could use help from our community of differently-abled skaters, get in touch!
