The Friends of Newport Skatepark are thrilled to announce the grand opening of the brand-new Newport Skatepark, an exciting addition to the community that promises to be a hub for skateboarding, recreation, and outdoor fun. The celebration will take place on Friday, December 6, at 4:00 PM, at the skatepark located on John H Chafee Blvd in Newport (across street from CCRI).
The Newport Skatepark is a testament to the power of community collaboration and vision. Its development was made possible through the tireless efforts of the Friends of Newport Skatepark, generous donors, and supportive city officials. This state-of-the-art facility designed by Spohn Ranch, offers an exciting mix of bowls, street-style features, and open spaces, catering to skaters of all ages and skill levels.
“The skatepark is a vibrant addition to Newport’s recreation scene,” said Michael Richards, President of Friends of Newport Skatepark. “It reflects the creativity and energy of our community while providing a space for connection and expression.”
The Friends of Newport Skatepark express their deepest gratitude to the sponsors, donors, and volunteers who helped turn this vision into reality. Their support has created a lasting legacy for Newport’s youth and families.
This is a free, family-friendly event, and all are encouraged to attend. Join us as we celebrate this exciting new chapter in Newport’s outdoor recreation!
