Skate Park Saturdays 2026

Skate Park Saturdays has been extended through September 2026 thanks to support from ISU's Center for Civic Engagement!
Skate Park Saturdays at Fairview Skate Park in Normal is the current initiative of the BN Hub of Illinois Humanities Envisioning Justice in collaboration with Crib to Crib Skateboarding Co. in Downtown Bloomington. Skate Park Saturdays honors the BN Hub's commitment to “Wellness is Crime Prevention,” inspired by the words of Illinois artivist King Moosa, and emphasizes the importance of engaging in and nurturing third spaces in the spirit of community resilience.
Skate Park Saturdays take place from 10:00am-1:00pm on the first and third Saturdays of each month from March - September (weather permitting. There will be no SPS on July 4).
Each Skate Park Saturday is unique in its energy while routinely featuring: 1 community partner, 1 art partner, free food, and physical activity/fresh air. Skate Park Saturdays is FREE to attend for all ages.
Partners for July through September will be announced soon!
Since 2017, Illinois Humanities Envisioning Justice has leveraged arts and humanities programming to “examine mass incarceration and collectively shape a more just future.” Since 2024, Bloomington-Normal has functioned as one of six regional, grant-funded Hubs of IH Envisioning Justice. Fellow Hubs include: Carbondale, East St. Louis, Galesburg, Decatur, and Champaign-Urbana.
In addition to Skate Park Saturdays, previous efforts of the Bloomington-Normal Hub include the organization of a communities-wide Wellness Weekend in February 2025, support and co-facilitation of the November 2024 Envisioning Justice Statewide Convening at Bloomington Public Library, and the co-hosting of multiple Activation events with community partners and Hub members.
