What We Do

Our Mission

Empowering Communities to Advocate for Skateparks

We understand the transformative power of skateboarding and its potential to bring communities together. To support this, we are committed to providing resources and guidance to local communities across Ireland. Whether you are a group of passionate skateboarders, parents, or community leaders, we offer the tools and knowledge you need to effectively petition for the creation of skateparks in your area. From providing template petitions and letters to offering strategic advice on engaging with local councils and stakeholders, we are here to help you make your case and turn your vision into reality.

Ensuring High-Quality Skateparks Across Ireland

At the Irish Skateboarding Association, we are dedicated to fostering a vibrant skateboarding culture throughout Ireland. A significant part of our mission is to ensure that skateparks built in our country adhere to the highest standards of design and construction. We believe that well-designed and expertly constructed skateparks are crucial for the safety, enjoyment, and progression of skateboarders at all levels. Our team collaborates with architects, engineers, and professional skateboarders to establish guidelines and best practices for skatepark development, ensuring that each new facility meets these rigorous standards.

Integrating Skateboarding into Public Spaces

The Irish Skateboarding Association also aims to integrate skateboarding into the fabric of our towns and cities. By advocating for skate-friendly urban design and promoting the inclusion of skateboarding in public spaces, we seek to enhance the vibrancy and life of our communities. We work closely with urban planners, local authorities, and community groups to identify opportunities for incorporating skateboarding into existing and new public spaces. By doing so, we not only provide more areas for skateboarders to practice their sport but also contribute to the dynamic and inclusive atmosphere of our public spaces.

Supporting Irish Skateboarders on the Global Stage

In addition to fostering a local skateboarding community, the Irish Skateboarding Association is committed to helping Irish skateboarders progress in their talent and achieve their dreams of competing on the world stage. We are aiming to provide support and opportunities for skateboarders to develop their skills, aiming to see more Irish athletes represent our country at major competitions, including the Olympics.
