The skate community of Jamaica might be small but has a powerful influence. Freedom skatepark nested in the heart of Bull Bay, St. Andrew is a product of that.
"Freedom Skatepark Jamaica: We likkle but we tallawah" provides a glimpse of what’s been going on at the Freedom Skatepark project since it was completed at the start of 2020. Despite Covid, the skatepark and youth center sure is buzzing!
All profits of Thank You Skate Co's "One Love Jamaica" skateboards last year were donated to the Freedom Skatepark and Youth Centre in Jamaica. Get your 'One Love' deck now and support this project!

Thanks to all the partners involved in making this project happen:

My name is Kwami Adzitso, I am originally from Ghana, Africa I wanted to pay my respects to the first skatepark built in my home country, The Freedom Skatepark. A collaborative effort from The Surf Ghana Collective, Virgil Abloh and countless others. One year later, the collective celebrates the anniversary of the Freedom skatepark which made the perfect opportunity for me to give back. I would like to give a special Thank You to Sandy Alibo and the entire collective at Surf Ghana for making me feel more than at home during my stay. The Freedom skatepark at one time was just a vision and with hard work and dedication it is now reality, a place skateboarders from all around the world can go and enjoy. I would also like to give a special Thank you to my sponsors for all gear they provided for the one year anniversary celebration. Here is my adventure...
