GardenSK8 2.0 Life After Hurricane Irene

We just recently reopened our doors for the first time after being destroyed by Hurricane Irene on August 27th, 2011. The park was flooded with more than 3 feet of water during the hurricane completely destroying our shop and damaging much of the rest. Our insurance did not cover flood damage and we did not qualify for any government assistance, but that didn't stop us.

We are forever grateful to the artists that selflessly gave their time and trade for painting 20,000 square feet top to bottom making us a contender for the World's Largest Indoor Graffiti Collection painted by more than 20 graffiti artists from around the world.

There was also silent auction featuring hand painted graffiti art on canvas and skateboards as well as autographed products from top professional skateboarders and their companies. All money raised went back into rebuilding the skatepark and gave us a pulse.

Last but not least we would like to thank those of you who sent in donations from around the country and those of you who were here and rolled up your sleeves to help.

Without ALL of you we would have never made it.

Love,

The Bossman & Family
