Will Bennington's Skatepark Dream Succeed?
The future success of Bennington's skatepark dream looks promising due to current efforts and conditions: Crowdfunding Campaign: A campaign has started to raise $20,000 by June 30, 2024. If the target is reached, an additional $40,000 will be matched, helping significantly with the skatepark's construction. Community Support: The Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development's Better Places program supports this project. It is led by a volunteer committee and backed by the Town of Bennington’s Office of Community Development. The community views this as a chance for outdoor recreation, community building, and connecting with local trails. Experienced Designers: GRINDLINE Skateparks, known for their award-winning designs, will build the skatepark. It will include a concrete "snake run" and multiple bowls, suitable for skateboarding, biking, and scootering. The project's ultimate success depends on the crowdfunding campaign and construction outcomes. However, strong community support and an experienced design team lay a solid foundation for the skatepark's realization in Bennington.

Recently, it’s been troubled by a very 21st century problem.
