Our Work

Scotty Lapp was a skiing legend in his hometown of Corte Madera, California, near San Francisco, and also in Lake Tahoe, where his family moved to allow Scotty and his brother to pursue their passion for skiing. Scotty was also an avid skater. So, when he passed away in 2022, his friends and family sought to memorialize Scotty with a fitting tribute, the Scotty Lapp Memorial Skatepark--a place for area youth to come together, be active, and have fun. The 7,000-square-foot street plaza also includes some transition sections, including an extension shaped and painted in Scotty's trademark style, replete with beanie and pink glasses. The Scotty Lapp Memorial Skatepark was made possible by the Scotty Lapp Foundation, who seek to make skateboarding, skiing, and snowboarding more accessible to youth. They encourage everyone to visit the park, skate, and have fun with your friends. Because that's what Scotty was all about.

In January, 2015 Nyjah Huston invited a group of pro-skater friends, along with California Skateparks CEO Joe Ciaglia and skatepark craftsman Brian Pino, to Ethiopia to help repair wells and build the country’s first-ever skatepark. When he and his mom, Kelli Huston, told skateboarding legend Tony Hawk about their plans, Hawk decided to come along. Together, the group repaired 15 wells and helped California Skateparks build the first concrete mini ramp that will be used by hundreds of kids in Addis Ababa and its neighboring villages. “Having this new skatepark for the kids of Ethopia is going to keep them out of trouble, keep them busy during the day, and the best part is that the sport is challenging,” Huston says. “The challenge builds determination and encourages perseverance. Also, it’s a group sport, so it’s community-driven. I just hope it becomes one more way to bring happiness to them.”
