Public Square Group Projects
PSG focuses on projects that will benefit the skateboarding community here in Northeast Ohio. We also support and utilize the creative talents of skaters in everything we do.
Skateboard Lessons
Can skateboarding be taught? It can if you simply get the right mix of skaters together in a safe, smooth location. Lesson Sessions are scheduled sessions with experienced PSG Counselors trained to work with kids and parents while holding true to the core nature of skateboarding: Have fun - and you will learn anything you want.
Public Square Group can provide skateboard lessons at area skateboard parks and rec centers. Contact PSG if your rec center is interested in offering skateboarding.
Lakewood Skatepark
From our roots in the Lakewood Skaters Association, this is the first skatepark we worked on. It is a small park that was talked about for 15 years before the city of Lakewood finally committed to doing it. It also represents the first true legal skatespot in Northeast Ohio. Phase one construction is complete and we are raising money for phase two. Visit Site
East Meets West in Slavic Village
Historic Slavic Village has been home to the annual East Meets West skateboarding event since 2008. The neighborhood has a growing skateboard scene and is central to the region. Broadway Ave is an ideal location for a neighborhood skatepark that would provide the entire region with a new node on the local skatepark circuit.
Cleveland Skateboard Park in the Flats
With the old North Coast Harbor skatepark removed for good, the City of Cleveland has begun the process of relocating the main skatepark to the banks of the Cuyahoga along the Columbus Road Peninsula in the Flats. This skatepark represents the first step in a greater initiative to bring people-powered recreation to the Flats. Visit Project Page
Know Skateboarding Day
As a means to raise money for skateparks and to start to unify the disparate scenes of the midwest, we created "Know Skateboarding Day". Each one will entail several aspects of skateboarding and attract a regional audience and raise money for a good public skatepark project.
