New Skate Parks for Allegany & Cattaraugus Territories
We are thrilled to announce the groundbreaking of two new skate parks at the Cattaraugus Community-Center and in the City of Salamanca, New York at Crowley Park! This incredible project, sponsored by the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, marks a significant milestone as part of The Skatepark Project’s Built to Play program, bringing the total to 13 skate parks across Western New York.
A heartfelt thank you to the Seneca Nation Executives and Council, the Seneca Nation Community Planning and Development Department, Seneca Nation DPW, the City of Salamanca DPW, and Seneca Nation DOT and all the passionate community members and kids who advocated for this project. Your dedication and support have made this dream a reality!
These skate parks will provide free recreational opportunities for our youth, fostering creativity, community, and fun for years to come. We can’t wait to celebrate the grand opening in early 2026!
Stay tuned for updates and get ready to skate!
“The Skatepark Project is excited to join the Seneca Nation in celebrating the groundbreaking for two new skateparks within the Seneca Nation territories. These two skateparks represent the completion of 13 skateparks in Western New York via The Skatepark Project’s Built to Play program, from Rochester, to Buffalo, to Salamanca, and everywhere in between. This partnership between the Seneca Nation, The Skatepark Project, and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation will offer free recreational opportunities for young people throughout the Nation for decades to come. We look forward to the grand opening celebrations in early 2026.” – Benjamin Anderson Bashein, Chief Executive Officer, The Skatepark Project
