Welcome to the Gulf Coast Skateparks Association.
Our 501c3 nonprofit is dedicated to growing the skateboarding community and developing permanent public access and free skateparks through a variety of impactful initiatives. We raise funds and awareness for our mission by hosting quarterly events like the Biloxi Skate Fest and weekly skate meet-ups, which generate financial support and increase public understanding of skateboarding's benefits.
We foster community engagement by involving local businesses, volunteers, and participants from neighboring states, building strong ties within and beyond our community. Empowering the next generation is a key focus, and we offer skateboarding lessons and mentorship to nurture the skills and enthusiasm of new skateboarders through our programs.
We also honor influential figures in the skateboarding community, such as John “STEEZE” Standberry, ensuring their contributions are remembered and celebrated.
Additionally, we promote local talent by showcasing musicians and artists, creating a vibrant cultural environment.
Above all, we prioritize safety, legal compliance, and inclusivity in all our events, ensuring they are well-organized and accessible to all participants. Through these efforts, we aim to create a thriving and supportive skateboarding community.
