What other funding sources are available for El Paso skateparks?
Funding can come from a variety of sources. For a large-scale skatepark project (20,000 square feet and bigger) a Community Development Block Grant might be our best bet. CDBG grants are awarded to lower-income neighborhood improvement projects like providing affordable housing, streets, lights and parks. The $625,000 Carolina Skatepark was funded by a CDBG grant. The El Paso Skatepark Association has identified more than 50 CDBG eligible parks in the city. Other potential funding sources include: Neighborhood Improvement Funds, Public Arts Funding, bond elections, Tony Hawk Foundation Grants, corporate signage, grassroots efforts and in-kind donations of concrete and other construction materials and services.
