THE ART OF WINDOW DRESSING
prominent placement within the
Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park
complex gives skilled skateboarders
a perfect stage to showcase their
abilities. As stated by John O’Keefe,
“The general consensus from the
skateboarders is that they didn’t
want to be tucked over in the corner
of the park. They wanted to be able
to demonstrate their sport.”
With Phases 1 and 1.5 complete,
the future of the Manchester
Skatepark is both exciting and
promising. With existing plans for
Phases 2 and 3 in the works, the
focus now shifts to raising funds
for future development. The park
has already drawn skaters from
neighboring states and all corners
of Vermont to come and skate it,
bringing the regional skateboarding
community together. Through the
influence of collaborative effort, the
town of Manchester has created
an aesthetically stunning oasis of
athletic expression with the new
skatepark. The generosity of those
who continue to help make this
dream a reality proves that in the
same way skateboarders gather
momentum as they ride through the
park, sometimes all it takes is a little
push in the right direction to help
start something magical.
