It's been awhile... but a lot has been happening behind the scenes!!!

Randi, Tegan, and Sierra have been working with the City of Lakewood Parks Department in a tireless effort to help save and preserve the skate park at Harry Todd Park. Our efforts, along with yours, are not going unnoticed or unheard!

While there is some unfortunate news that the original equipment has been removed for the pickleball courts, hope is not lost!

That equipment has been donated to Alchemy Skateboards in Tacoma and has already been put to good use!

We will be working with the Parks Department to incorporate bringing back a skate park/all wheeled area in the next legacy plan. That means we get a longer time frame to really get it right and raise a significant amount of money.

What's happening in the meantime?!

Come by Harry Todd Park for Parks Appreciation Day on April 25th, 2026 to see the grand reveal of our skate-able art element for the park! This park bench will on location at Harry Todd Park and will be encouraged to be used as a skate-able element for the community. It will be painted by Ryan's sister, Sierra, and a QR Code will be available to scan to learn more about the history of the Skate Park at Harry Todd Park and what our future efforts are to bring wheeled activities back to HT.

See the attached photos for a sneak peek at design ideas and the bench in question. Current GoFundMe funds will go towards the art supplies and refurbishing of the park bench.

Thank you to those who have donated so far!

Tegan and I met with the City of Lakewood Parks Department today on the Skate Park survival efforts. We had a really great meeting with them and we feel that our voices along with the residents of Tillicum have been heard. While this process to preserve the Skate Park might be longer than we'd like, we will continue to raise the funds needed to repair and replace the existing 20 year old equipment. We are looking into a grant with The Skatepark Project (formerly known as The Tony Hawk Foundation) and in order to receive a grant, we need approximately 1/3 of our fundraising efforts to be met. Our original goal of $10,000 might be adjusted once we get better information and bids.

Please share this GoFundMe with your friends and family! Let's save Ryan's legacy in Tillicum.

Hey everyone!

Your fearless admins will be meeting with the Lakewood Parks Department next month to talk about the state of the equipment at the skate park and the funds that will be needed to relocate, restore, and/or replace the equipment.

For now, we currently have a GoFundMe up to help raise funds to save the skate park with a giant ballpark estimate that is subject to change.

Be on the look out for more information on the possibility of a benefit show and/or silent auction soon!

Happy New Year! We're kicking off 2025 by really getting our ideas and feelers out there.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?!
Planning a benefit concert and auction/donations. The main goal of the benefit show is to raise money to preserve/maintain the existing skate park equipment, replace the equipment if needed, assist with the relocation of the equipment to another location at the park, and to fund a memorial plaque to dedicate the space to its founder.

WHEN?!
Mid April 2025, to honor Ryan on either his birthday or death day.

HOW MUCH MONEY WILL BE NEEDED?!
Currently that is undecided at this time, we are waiting to hear back from the Lakewood City Parks Department.

CAN I HELP?!
Omg, yes! If anyone has any additional resources, ideas, contacts, or wants to volunteer their time or services, please, feel free to message the page or send an email to:

If you missed our last post we have an important update. The skatepark has been saved by relocation and there is talks of putting up a memorial to Ryan. I believe it will still be within the bounds of Harry Todd park. We are waiting to hear back about more details.

In the meantime, we want/need to start planning the benefit concert that we want to do. If anyone has any resources or ideas or contacts, please, feel free to message the page or send an email to:

Thank you for those who came out to this! We have heard that the parks department is looking at persevering the skate park by relocation in the park and there's talks of a memorial for Ryan. ❤️

Teg and Randi are still looking at ways to raise funds to help with the effort. If you'd like to be apart of the process, let us know!

If you can be there go check this out! I'm still out of commission with a broken leg so I won't be there but come let your voice be heard!
