Anything folks can donate will be helpful and go directly to the rebuilding of the skatepark! As we continue to go through the steps we are always looking for inspiration and ways to imagine what the skatepark will look like in the future. Below are two rendered images of superimposing a couple of different already existing skateparks onto the Bristol Rec Fields. They are not representative of what the park will look like but meant to be used for inspiration.  Any new park we build will require a lot of funds so we love donations if you're able to donate!We will be working with Nor'Easter Skateparks on the design of the skatepark! Our Second community design meeting will be on February 13th! If you plan to attend the first design meeting fill out this survey so we know to expect you!We are super excited about the process, let us know if you have any questions.

Below are two rendered images of superimposing a couple of different already existing skateparks onto the Bristol Rec Fields. They are not representative of what the park will look like but meant to be used for inspiration.  Any new park we build will require a lot of funds so we love donations if you're able to donate!We will be working with Nor'Easter Skateparks on the design of the skatepark! Our Second community design meeting will be on February 13th! If you plan to attend the first design meeting fill out this survey so we know to expect you!We are super excited about the process, let us know if you have any questions.
