Once again Crystals of Quartz hosted a fantastic Psychic Faire and donated a portion of her proceeds to GWL Skatepark. So, not only did she provide Greenwood Lake with a fun experience and a chance to interact with healers, readers and vendors, but she also helped GWL Skatepark raise another $1,136 toward our goal. Thank you @crystalsofquartz (website) and thank you to all of her volunteers, including Dylan Cosgrove

Unfortunately, his dream was not realized in time for Dale to see it. Today, February 26th, 2021 would have been Dale’s 21st birthday. We...

It was a busy week for GWL Skatepark Corp. leading up to Easter, starting with a celebratory ribbon-cutting at the newly installed sign in CVS field marking the location for the future GWL Skatepark in Memory of Dale Hirrel. Many local residents and business owners attended the momentous event for our effort, and News 12’s Blaise Gomez aired a nice clip, giving GWL Skatepark Corp. the added publicity we really need. The sign serves as a point-of-reference for...
