Port Alberni, BC – In an exciting new development for the Tseshaht First Nation, young skateboarders now have access to professional-grade skateboarding equipment, thanks to a collaboration between Nations Skate Youth and funding from The Vans Checkerboard Fund. These newly delivered Freshpark ramps represent a significant boost for the local community, providing an engaging and dynamic environment for the kids to develop their skills and connect with one another.
Known for their commercial-grade strength and durability, Freshpark ramps are a trusted choice for action sports youth programs across North America. Designed to last longer and withstand heavy use, the ramps are ideal for long-term community projects and facilities looking for high-quality equipment. Unlike many traditional ramps, Freshpark products are also portable, offering flexibility in setup and allowing communities to easily move and store the equipment when needed.
For the Tseshaht First Nation, the introduction of these ramps marks an exciting opportunity to grow skateboarding within their community. By providing ramps that are both more affordable and involve less liability, Nations Skate Youth and Freshpark are supporting safe and accessible recreational opportunities for Indigenous youth. Freshpark’s reputation for excellence has made it a popular choice in Boys and Girls Clubs, schools, park and recreation centers, and city parks across the country, ensuring that kids can participate in skateboarding with confidence.
“We are incredibly proud to bring these ramps to the Tseshaht First Nation,” said a spokesperson for Nations Skate Youth. “One of our core goals is to ensure Indigenous communities have access to skateparks and quality equipment. Skateboarding fosters creativity, builds confidence, and offers a healthy outlet for kids. With the help of Freshpark and The Vans Checkerboard Fund, we are one step closer to making this a reality in more communities.”
The excitement surrounding the new ramps is already palpable, as young skateboarders test out their skills and take advantage of the new setup. Skateboarding, which continues to grow in popularity, offers a unique and powerful way to engage youth in physical activity, self-expression, and positive community involvement.
Nations Skate Youth remains committed to expanding their mission to more Indigenous communities, ensuring that skateboarding and action sports are accessible to kids across the country. With the support of organizations like Vans and the innovative designs of Freshpark, they are set to make a lasting impact.
