WHY: With strong Community input and support, etnies, a local action sports company, and the City of Lake Forest worked to create a world-class skatepark facility designed for the youth of Orange County. Using a public/private partnership to help offset the costs by more than 25%, etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest is currently one of the nation's largest skateparks.Initially, etnies CEO/Owner Pierre André Senizergues made a generous donation to the City of Lake Forest to offset costs and make the skatepark free of charge for all guests during its first year of operation. As an early Christmas gift, and in acknowledgement of a successful One Year Anniversary, Senizergues will make another substantial donation to keep the skatepark free of charge for yet another year. |
