Thanks to CSKT for welcoming us to the Flathead Reservation with new parks in Arlee, Ronan and Pablo, MT. These spaces are empowering local youth to find their strength, make lasting friendships, and to take pride in their unique version of riding. Skateboarding doesn’t require a membership, or fees or rules and referees…just a board and the courage to drop in. These parks are more than concrete; they’re places for young people to thrive, learn, and grow as a vibrant part of their community.
Check out this mini documentary from the opening celebrations in Arlee and Ronan this year. Thanks to @evergreenskateparks and @dreamlandskateparks for the creative builds. More to come!
Skateboarding is more than a sport for these young people; it’s a means of self-expression, and a way to build community in places where opportunities can be limited.
This mini-documentary celebrates the opening of two new skateparks on the Flathead Reservation in Arlee and Ronan, Montana—home to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (Séliš, Q'lispé, and Ksanka). Built by Montana Pool Service and Dreamland Skateparks, these parks bring world-class skateboarding facilities to rural and isolated communities, connecting small towns to the larger skateboarding world. They provide a space for youth to come together, forge friendships, and discover their strength. With a board, kids can find their power and thrive in a safe, inclusive environment.
Montana Pool Service and its partners are dedicated to fostering community growth and vitality through skateboarding. Watch to see how youth in these spaces are making these parks their own and building a stronger sense of connection in these beautiful Montana towns.
Very cool. I can vouch for these parks getting lots of use as there’s not a lot of free things to do for kids here and many of these kids have bad home environments . My mom works for the middle school in Ronan and these kids really can use a good recreational outlet. Thanks Jeff for making it happen.

Those are some odd tattoos. He waits 60 years and gets that?.
For sure. Should've got some tribal.
