Greenlaw mini-Halfpipe skate hours
Visit the Greenlaw Facebook group for public skate hours
Greenlaw Celebration!!
The halfpipe is done! We celebrated yesterday our grand-opening of the ramp. A big thanks to
everyone for helping make this happen. Especially the Skatelife volunteer construction crew that built the ramp which included: Sam Connell, Kris Gurley,
Mark Jannetta, Drew, Mike Lasiter, Jon Hedge, Mark Nagle, Thurman Richardson, Bo Graham,
Shannon Cable, Tucker Davis and all the Greenlaw kids that helped to build this. You all put in around 200 hours to build it!
Thanks Bellvue Baptist for hosting the event and for spending the whole day cleaning up and fixing up the community center. Bellvue loves Memphis! Nice work Scott!

A special thanks to Detric and April Golden for being supportive of the ramp build. Thank you !
Finally, we are indebted to Memphis Athletic Ministries for being willing to give skateboarding a trial run as a program for their organization. We hope to make you proud that! You now host the only community center in Memphis that has its own halfpipe and skateboarding program!

We are starting to collect ramp building materials for building the skate ramps at the Greenlaw community center. The Nike Grant will pay for about 2/3 of the materials but we still need some more materials purchased. You can purchase the materials at Lowes or Home Depot and drop them off at the community center which is located at 190 Mill Avenue Monday -Friday between the hours of 12-7pm. If you don't have time you can also donate via the paypal button below and we'll pick up the materials.
We will update the materials list with donor names and materials purchased daily so that you know what materials still need to be purchased. Thanks for helping!
