Across the Board Skate Deck Auction
The Crossing Arts and Lakes Area Skatepark are teaming up to auction off 19 unique skate decks, hand painted by local artists. Proceeds from these pieces will support the missions of both organizations.
Millions of kids around the world rely on extreme sports to be their healthy activity, both mentally and physically. Lakes Area Skatepark is advocating for a space in the Brainerd Lakes Area for the area youth have no place to gather and practice their extreme sport safely.
We are very excited to announce that Memorial Park in Brainerd has been approved to be the location for the Lakes Area Skatepark! We thankfully received a unanimous vote from the Brainerd Parks Board to make this approval. The city of Brainerd and local businesses have also shown support. We are grateful for all of our community backing!
The initial spot for the skatepark is in the Memorial Park parking lot on the corner of Mill Avenue and Q Street. Visit https://www.lakesareaskatepark.org/location to see concept renderings to see what our skatepark could look like!
