“When I was big into skateboarding, I would have KILLED for a place like what Kory is building. All we had was the Washington Street Bridge. Can’t. Fricken. Wait.”

-Richard Krzyzanski

“We dreamt of running a skate shop when we were teens. Instead of buying a house, like a normal person, he’s taking all of his money and building a skatepark. I couldn’t be more proud.”

-David Henry

“My name is Robert, my friends call me Lil’ Rob. I have lived in Battle Creek my entire life and have yet to see a decent skatepark that the community can depend on. Kory is not only a great friend of mine, he has always been mentor to me. I learned everything I know about skateboarding from this dude. He inspired me through my childhood and inspires me today with what his goal is for KP Skatepark.”

-Robert Kerr

“I made a lot of good friends through my passion for skateboarding. I look forward to teaching my kids how to ride. I’m truly honored to help Kory build his dreams.”

-Clarence Bolden

“Maybe if we had a nice park when I was a kid, I would have had heelflips on lock. I can still kickflip better than Kory.”

-Joseph Seech

“As a kid, my passion for skateboarding blossomed in Battle Creek. I’m so thankful and motivated to know someone with the same passion is creating an outlet to give others the chance to allow their love for the sport to continue to grow. Connecting generations will have a greater impact than we know.”
