Founded in 2003, The Wilmington Skate Project is a non-profit organization committed to the establishment of a free, high quality, public skateboarding facility in the city of Wilmington. WSP members are a diverse group of skateboarders, parents, politicians and small business owners who see the value of skateboarding as not only a healthy and fun recreational activity but also as a creatively unique lifestyle. The proposed site is located under I-95 on Maryland Avenue. The proposed park layout was designed by Anthony Bracali Architecture, Skate Nerd and Van der Zalm Associates and was inspired by world-renowned skate spots such as Philadelphia’s Love Park, San Francisco’s Embarcadeo Plaza as well as the urban landscape of the city of Wilmington.
