+ Silo Omaha
+ SkateFest Omaha
+ Community members
As of Summer 2025, the NPSC is is actively raising donations to the Zach Smith Memorial Fund for continued renovations and improvements to the Lynch Park Skatepark.
✅ Executing
Thanks to Hunger Skateparks for donating their time, effort, and energy towards the initial rebuild of the Lynch Park Skatepark during their off-hours building the Millwork Commons Skate Spot. Thanks to the Omaha community, and more specifically, the South Omaha skateboarding community, for coming together to help rebuild too!
With a $150,000 investment from Omaha Parks & Rec. and a $10,000 National Skatepark Grant from The Skatepark Project, Hunger Skateparks completed construction on the Lynch Park Skatepark Redevelopment in June 2025, adding over five brand new skate elements within three of the four former tennis courts at Lynch Park.
