About Us
SHE WAS A SK8R MOM, HE WAS A SK8R DAD
The Delco Skatepark Coalition is a non-profit organization of skate enthusiasts (and parents) looking to build adaptive & inclusive skateparks in Delaware County.
Skateparks are fantastic spaces for alternative wheels — like scooters, BMXers, rollerbladers, and adaptive riders — who need a place to play. Recreational outdoor spaces like skateparks make a better Delco.
