We’re the Twin Lakes Skatepark Project, a group of people who simply love skateboarding and our community. Most of us have jobs, businesses to run, and families. Life keeps us busy. But our passion for skating has always been there. Our story really began on the streets of Grayson County, trying to skate without getting chased off by the police. A huge moment for us was when the old park on Highway 54 opened in Leitchfield. That place became our second home. When it fell apart and was eventually torn down, we were left with nowhere to go. That’s why we started this project. We are determined to build something that lasts. Our vision is a modern, concrete skatepark that is safe and welcoming for everyone. We see it as a place where families can connect and kids can have a positive outlet. It hasn’t been an easy road. We've had to learn about liability issues and make the case for a skatepark in city planning. A community like ours needs a skatepark. It’s a way to keep kids active and give them a creative outlet. It becomes a common ground, a place that brings different people together. We can’t do this alone. Help us build a skatepark that makes this community proud, and a give new generation of skaters a place to call their own.

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.
