At Skate Chesco aka the Skateboard Improvement Coalition of Chester County, our mission is advocacy for the creation of public skate spots, skateparks that are easily accessible, inclusivity, and concrete in structure.

It is vital that skateparks are easily accessible to all members of the community. As of now the only public skateparks available to the Borough of West Chester residents, our hometown, require access to a car thus shutting out too many of the youth. This story is true for a majority of Chester County.

This creation process can be long so our goal is to also provide free programming with temporary skatespot pop-ups and “Skate 101”, a series of introduction to skateboarding development clinics. “Skate 101” is designed for first timers and beginners as well as their parents/caregivers. Loaner skateboards and safety equipment are available from various donors. Our mission also includes the distribution of donated items to kids in need.
