Wellington Skateboarding Association Project #01: Treetops summer makeover
The WSA’s first project is to build some solid new skate obstacles and tidy up Wellington's favourite DIY skatepark ready for summer.
Last year, a group of skaters got together and raised enough funds to resurface the rough concrete at Treetops, elevating it into one of New Zealand's most functional and unique DIY skate spots.However, over the last year most of the ramps, ledges and quarter pipes have become worn out, waterlogged or broken; and Treetops needs your help.
Our goal is to raise $4,000 by the end of November to create the following:
- a 4.8m long grind box
- a new quarter pipe
- a flat bar
- a slappie curb
- cleanup, repairs and paint to existing obstacles
If you support our cause, please make a pledge today. Great rewards for donations are on offer and all donations of $10 and above will receive membership to the Wellington Skateboarding Association. Any donation of $500 or over will receive naming rights of a new obstacle.
Watch this space and the WSA Facebook page for updates and info on a launch party/Treetops working bee in early December.
