Hagerstown youth looking for skate-park backing

Young people in Hagerstown are looking to the community to help construct their skate park.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - Young people in Hagerstown are looking for a little help getting funding for their dream – a skate park.

They’re hoping to have it completed by the end of the year – but they can’t do it without a little help.

Currently, they’re waiting on a grant from the Hagerstown Council - but they’re getting some resistance from certain members.

If that grant falls through, they’ll need to raise $150,000 on their own.

They’ve already received a number of grants – including the Tony Hawk Foundation.
