Please visit our website as we continue to update with more information about the
SFM Skatepark Project!
the SFM Skatepark will be:
mission
To construct a destination-class skatepark for all ages and skill levels in downtown Rome, NY.
Conceived in tragedy, this has blossomed into one of the most prolific grassroots movements Rome, NY has seen in decades. We know this won’t be easy, but we are prepared for the grind – nose to tail.
On behalf of Stone’s entire family, thank you for being there for us and for helping to make his dream come true.

How can we possibly thank you?

Every dollar counts, this is happening.
meet the SFM skateholder brigade
The boys and girls are heartbroken, twanked, danked, and skedakked…but we are rallying for Stone. The core squad is assembled, with a plethora of youth and adult skaters in reserve. When The Skatepark Project comes to town, we are ready to shred(dy).
