Perseverance Skatepark

Perseverance Skatepark in Battlebro was given its name because it took the local community nearly two decades of persistence in the face of repeated disappointment to get a skatepark built in Brattleboro. Well, the wait is finally over and skateboarders now have a super nice skatepark to call their own. The street section features two hubba ledges, stairs, handrail, flat bar, euro gap, A-frame with rail, manual pad, banks, and quarter pipes. There is also a sick bowl you are sure to be stoked on!

The new skatepark (as of 2020) is located in Living Memorial Park, and was designed by Stantec Design and built by Vermont based Parker Construction Inc. The construction crew was so committed to the project that they even pitched a tent onsite during construction to ensure no additional ‘art’ appeared on the skatepark.

Local resident Barry Lane made sure Battlebro’s dream of getting a skatepark never fizzled out and was supported by more than 140 businesses, organizations, and foundations who helped raise more than $350,000 towards the project.
