Salamanca/Communal
The City of Salamanca and the Seneca Nation held a joint groundbreaking for a new skatepark at Crowley Park on River Street. The project, designed and built by Seattle-based Grindline Skateparks, is funded through a partnership that includes matching support from the Seneca Nation along with grants from the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and the Tony Hawk Foundation. The city is providing the site, lighting and ongoing maintenance under the collaborative arrangement. Final landscaping and a ribbon-cutting grand opening were planned for spring 2026, giving Salamanca-area youth a dedicated skating facility.
