Rolling Forward
following the grand unveiling of the park ’ s final phases in Spring 2023 . Strecker grew up skateboarding in Vermont long before the establishment of the Manchester Skatepark , and he has been an unwavering advocate for its power to positively engage young community members in constructive athletic pursuits . He began running skateboard clinics for local kids at the Manchester skatepark several years ago , drawing on his passion for the sport and its power to bring people together . He recently bolstered his efforts by founding the New England Skateboarding Association ( NESA ), and he has continued to use the Manchester skatepark as a hub for athletic collaboration .
Strecker hosts NESA skateboarding clinics for skateboarders ages 7 +, with signup and registration available through the Manchester Parks and Recreation webpage . Participants are encouraged to bring their own board , and to wear helmets and wrist , elbow , and knee pads for safety . Through his work at NESA , Strecker has also built strong relationships with the greater Vermont and New England skateboarding community in Rutland , Brattleboro , and across state lines in Lewiston , Maine . These blossoming partnerships have manifested in free afterschool skateboarding lessons at the Brattleboro Boys & Girls club , with plans for more NESA events and collaborations taking shape at the Manchester Skatepark and beyond . n
