Party in the Park '26
Sat, Jun 27, 2026 • Father Marinaro Skatepark
Mark your calendars.
BASA is bringing our first major skate event to Father Marinaro Skatepark on June 27.
Party in the Park is about bringing the community together and building real momentum around the skatepark. We are planning a full day with skate contests, live music, vendors, food, and activities for all ages.
Expect a mix of competition and chaos in the best way. Best Trick, Fastest Trick, and more are all in the works as we dial everything in.
This is more than just an event. It is a step forward for the park and for the culture around it.
More details are coming soon, including the full schedule, contest formats, and how to get involved.
For now, save the date and be ready.

Community First
Why Your Contributions Matter
Skateboarding is more than just a sport. It’s a community, an outlet, and for many kids, a lifeline.
Your support helps create safe spaces where young people build confidence, form friendships, and stay active. Skateparks don’t just serve skaters — they revitalize public spaces and bring people together across all backgrounds.
This isn’t just concrete and steel. By contributing, you’re investing in the next generation of leaders, creators, and dreamers.
