City of Belen
Grants Awarded
The City of Belen plans to develop a pump track near its existing skatepark, intended to encourage youth participation, physical fitness, and inclusive community spaces. The design of the multi-use recreational space, led by American Ramp Company, will strive for safety, scalability, and integration with existing facilities. The project then aims to secure future construction funding by delivering high-quality visuals and technical outlines, fostering active lifestyles, and paving the way for a well-constructed, practical facility ready for implementation upon receiving funds.
