Who we are

  • We are the Twin Lakes Skatepark Project, dedicated to skateboarding and community. Despite our busy lives as workers, business owners, husbands, fathers, friends, and skaters, our passion for skateboarding remains unwavering. Our journey began in Grayson County, skating the streets and often getting chased away by the police. A highlight was the opening of the skatepark on Highway 54 in Leitchfield, which became our second home. However, as it fell into disrepair and was decommissioned, we were left with limited options. Determined to create a better space, we created the Twin Lakes Skatepark Project. Our vision is a new, fully concrete skatepark that provides a safe environment for skating and a hub for family bonding. We've faced challenges, from liability issues to advocating for skateparks in city planning. Yet, we believe skateparks are vital community assets that promote physical activity, creativity, and inclusivity. Join us in our mission to build a skatepark that embodies the spirit and resilience of our community. Together, we can create a welcoming space for skaters of all ages to pursue their passion.

  • The Twin Lakes Skatepark Project is dedicated to the planning, development, and maintenance of a public recreational skatepark facility within Grayson County. Our mission is to provide recreational opportunities for residents and visitors, promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles, contribute to the economic growth and development of our region, and foster a sense of community engagement and collaboration. Recognizing skateboarding as a diverse and inclusive activity that brings together people from all walks of life, we are also committed to fostering unity, inclusiveness, and diversity within our community.

  • Imagine a place where everyone can skate, ride, and connect. We aim to build a safe, accessible skatepark that serves as a hub for creativity, physical activity, and community engagement. We dream of a space where individuals of all backgrounds can come together, feel welcome, and share in the joy of skateboarding. A place where diversity is celebrated, inclusivity is the norm, and everyone, regardless of their experience or background, can feel safe and inspired. This skatepark will not only enrich our community but also boost the local economy. The buzz surrounding our park will draw visitors to Grayson County, creating opportunities for local businesses and fostering economic growth. Our vision is to create a community where everyone belongs and thrives.
