Corte Madera skate park renovation & extension approved by the Town Council!
On April 16th, the Corte Madera Town Council unanimously approved an extension of an additional 1,200 square feet to add to the skatepark. We are full steam ahead on design finalization and fundraising!

It’s how Scotty lived his life, bringing people together.”Our mission is to empower youth.
The Scotty Lapp Foundation exists to promote and sponsor projects that foster Scotty's positivity and love of life by making ski, snowboard and skate more accessible to underserved communities and assisting athletes in reaching their full potential. "We don't want anyone to ever forget him. We want people to remember him, so let's build something special together."

Scotty Lapp Memorial Skatepark
The Scotty Lapp Foundation is working to accelerate the development of a public skate park for the North Lake Tahoe communities – an inclusive, accessible, community-minded, and safe space for all. To date, over $750,000 has been raised towards a goal of $1M. In partnership with the Public Utility Districts and Placer County, we hope to provide a 20,000 sqft park for the community in 2024.
