Sarah Anderson loving, driven and determined - Learn how her love for her husband and his love for skateboarding, her determination to never give up got them the 1st skate park in Nyack, New York.

Sarah Anderson is a skate park advocate from Nyack, New York. In 2010, she began her project under the guise of Nyack Needs a Skatepark and launched a passionate campaign using social media for a free public concrete skate plaza in the Village of Nyack, 20 miles north of NYC. The project quickly took root in the local skateboarding community and was approved by the Village of Nyack in 2013. 2014 was a big year for Sarah, the Nyack Skate Plaza was awarded the top Tony Hawk Foundation grant of $25,000 dollars. After several fundraisers and a grant from NY Senator David Carlucci in the amount of $100,000, the project is now funded and in the final design stages. When she’s not volunteering, Sarah is a NYC public school teacher. 

December 2013 they threw a huge skateboard art show to raise funds... A big reason for which she started this project is that she’s married to the guy who funded this website (Tim Anderson) and he sorely needed a local place to skate...
