The Brooklyn Skate Garden chugs along!

Tomorrow (Wednesday - 6 PM) is the day to let the city know what YOU want to see in the Brooklyn Skate Garden. To participate you have to sign-in with the NYC Parks website before the meeting. It takes 2 minutes and is easy to do. Link in the @brooklynskategarden bio.

Big shout out to the local companies and orgs that supported the campaign, donating gear or space or time to help the campaign. NYC skate orgs showed up to support including: Homage, PANSY, KCDC Skateboarding, Skate Yogi, NYC Skate Coalition, Subject Skatebrand, SWRL NYC, Sticks and Stones, Boards for Bros, Harold Hunter Foundation, BB Skate Club, Aegir, Bridge Skateboards, Skate for Changes, Buddies, Park Deli, and more.

Also big thank you to everyone who put time into making this happen, even if it was just a word of support or sharing. Thank you to fellow volunteer supporters big and small: Amanda, Edwin, Garrett, Hazel, Ian, Briana, Steve, Kevin, Lola, Kirsten, Kava, Alice, Wade, Rachel, Windle, Scott, Haroun, Wyeth, Noah, Sean, Matt, Eric, Emrys, Felix, Arlo, Sam, Angela, Andrew, Aggie, Dick, William, Donny, DJ, Joe, ESPO, Christopher, Chris, Alec, Shiki, Hiroko, Ari, Max, Nesta, Sora, Jonathan, Jeggi, Ben, Shauny, Ray, thrifty oners, and many more I’m probably forgetting.

Biggest thank you to Loren, Mammasplifff, turning the calls of us local skaters for a local park inspired by Pablo into the Brooklyn Skate Garden. 5 years of advocacy, 100s of hours of volunteered time, 10s of events … it’s been an honor volunteering for Pablo’s foundation, supporting Loren and Herve and the dream for a Brooklyn Skate Garden.

Loudest shout out to Pablo Ramirez (R.I.P) for being the inspiration and connector who brought together all these people. If you’re not familiar with Pablo, watch “RIGHT HERE FOR PABLO” on youtube to learn more.

Today and every day is Earth Day. 🌎

Let's all give back and continue to respect the earth. By doing that you're also respecting yourself and our future generations.

Help to;
1. Reuse, ♻️recycle your board, turn it into ART when you're done riding it.
2. BYOB; bring your own bottle; carry your water, don't use plastic bottles.
3. Pack in and pack out, help to keep our skate parks clean by not litering and advocating this to friends.

We can all set a great example not only for today but for future generations and beyond.

The Brooklyn Skate Garden is for skateboarding and so much more- planting, gardening, and taking care of our parks🌿🪴🛹

Go skate and get outside.
Happy Earth Day

This is what our community looks like. We are all genders and all cultures. We are kids, families, and everyone together. We are skateboarders and non skaters alike.
We are creating a new innovative way for how skateparks are designed and used: introducing the SkateGARDEN. gardening, environmental education, art and culture, sustainability and activism. Most of all we believe in nurturing our green spaces and caring for our parks.
The Brooklyn skate Garden is more than skateboarding. We believe in having safe spaces for everyone, especially the kids. We believe that a skatepark /GARDEN needs to be first and foremost in nature, and in green inspiring environment. (Not under a highway, not in an industrial zone, not in a parking lot or not next to a garbage dump. These are all traditional spaces where skateparks are usually asked to be built)
Our new home at Mount Prospect Park spearheaded by the NYC parks dept and an intuitive from the mayors office will enhance this park and make it greener and more beautiful than it has ever been before. With newly planted trees, gardens and sustainably designed landscaped areas. The park will continue to be a haven for dogs, kids, families and continue to be a place with passive areas for relaxation. Our city parks need to be accessible to everyone, and the BSG offers a new forward thinking model which blends eco- sustainability with active recreation. We believe that a skate park should not just be concrete, but an inspiring environment that includes gardens, trees, picnicking, and a place where everyone can come together to enjoy our parks more fully.
We couldn’t have gotten here without the the help from our BSG volunteers, and everyone who showed up at our park clean ups, gardening and art and mural making events and our skate sessions. We can’t thank you all enough for all your support in believing in our ethos and our mission. Stay tuned for all the info about, how you can get involved in all the next community engagement meetings that will be happening before we finalize the design and building of the BSG at Mount Prospect Park.

It was a grind. In less than 3 years, I volunteered my time to help produce 9+ events and support others hosted by the Brooklyn Skate Garden campaign / Pablo Ramirez Foundation. It was a great honor to give back to the community in this way and I look forward to seeing kids and adults of all types using this skatepark in the future. 💚

As we close out 2023, we at the Pablo Ramirez Foundation want to thank everyone for all your support.💚

Feb 2023 brought a special celebration for Pablo’s 30th birthday in SF, with a limited edition of 100 boards and t-shirt collab with @ftc_skateboarding. We had a release party on Friday night at FTC and a skate jam on Saturday at Waller St. skate park. It was amazing to share space with so many friends.

Through the events we were able to provide a scholarship fund in Pablo’s honor for the @sfskateclub These funds specifically allowed students to attend summer camp for free and their after school program that Pablo always loved to help volunteer at. 💚

March 2023 brought the 1st ever NYC Skate Forum hosted by the @nycparks
Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Marty Maher was joined by our local skate industry friends and community members to talk about the future of Brooklyn skateboarding including how @mammasplifff and @pabloramirezfoundation are advocating to seek funding for the @brooklynskategarden🔥

June 2023
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been sending skaters to the YMCA Sequoia Skate Camp @yskatecamp in honor of pro skater @zanetimpson, one of Pablo’s best friends. This scholarship fund continues to help young people with limited financial opportunities go to skate camp which gives them these once in a lifetime experiences.

Aug 2023
