About the Butler Area Skatepark Association

Building a stronger community through skateboarding, creativity, and opportunity.

Our Mission

The Butler Area Skatepark Association is dedicated to fostering a thriving skateboarding community by supporting and enhancing our local skatepark. Through fundraising, events, and community engagement, we strive to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space for skaters of all ages and skill levels. Our mission is not only to maintain and improve our skatepark, but to promote the positive impact of skateboarding as an outlet for creativity, physical activity, and personal growth.

Our History

Founded in 2025, our association grew out of a grassroots effort by skaters, parents, advocates, and community members who believed Butler deserved better. What started as a small group of passionate voices quickly became a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a safe, inclusive, and professionally designed skatepark that will serve generations to come.
