WHO
WE ARE

MISSION & HISTORY.

Our mission is to generate opportunities that increase skateboarding participation amongst youth, and help the community better understand the physical, mental, and social benefits of the sport.

The NDSA is open to all demographics and economic statuses, with a focus on providing a place in the skateboarding community for at-risk youth. We have been pursuing this mission since 2011 when we founded the Hawks Nest, a private indoor skatepark that opens to the public as often as possible. The HN is run by volunteers, and that dictates the availability of the space. The hope is that by forming the NDSA we can provide consistent opportunities for indoor skateboarding in our region. The HN is the only indoor skatepark in the state of North Dakota at this time, and the only place to skateboard indoors for a 200-mile radius of the city of Fargo. We frequently have groups traveling hundreds of miles to skateboard for a few short hours during the winter months.
