On Friday, June 21, the Big Sky Community Organization will host an event at Big Sky Community Park to celebrate the completed renovation of its skatepark and pump track, and construction of the Adventure Park playground.
The pump track upgrades were funded with support from the Southwest Montana Mountain Bike Association, and the skatepark upgrades were conducted by Dreamland Skateparks. Both projects received significant funding from Resort Tax, as well as the construction of the new ADA-accessible playground, which includes a toddler play area, a kids zipline and junior towers among other new features.
The Big Sky Community Park Celebration will run from 3 to 8 p.m. on June 21, which is also National Go Skateboarding Day. Beaver Fleming, a professional skateboarder known for his involvement with stunt spectacle Nitro Circus, will drop in for a special guest appearance after working with Camp Big Sky kids earlier in the day.
“We are thrilled to host the Community Park celebration for our town,” Madeleine Feher, director of operations for BSCO, stated in an email to EBS. “This event is a wonderful opportunity to bring our community together, celebrate our shared achievements, and enjoy the beautiful new amenities in the park. We look forward to seeing everyone there and creating an exciting family-friendly event for all to enjoy.”
The event will also include live music from local heavy metal artist Scavenger, building on BSCO’s experimental event last August, Scavenger in the Skatepark.
“Scavenger in the Skatepark turned into a fun, casual community event where skaters, bikers, and music lovers could come together and just enjoy each other’s company,” stated Cassie Carlson, BSCO operations and communication manager, who organized both events. “… I am super stoked to be working with a local band and local vendors to showcase what our community has to offer.”
Vendors including Beehive Basin Brewery and BYWOM will sell food and drink at the event. BSCO gave credit to John Delzer for making Fleming’s appearance possible.
