POUR IT NOW means pour the concrete now. Our goal is to secure funding for unique, challenging and fun concrete skateparks in South Carolina. The fact is Skateboarders outnumber participants in most popular sports including Baseball and Football. While tennis courts, baseball fields and soccer fields go nearly unused, skateparks are bustling with activity each day as long as there is light. Skateboarders will not wait for those who make the decisions to furnish them with a place to hone their skills. If your city does not have a good skatepark then your city is a skatepark. Don't wait, POUR IT NOW. Keep up to date with the POUR IT NOW Blog Latest News

But before the end of the year, skaters in the metro area might finally be able to return to their old skating grounds, which are slated to become home to the only custom-designed concrete skate park in South Carolina.Upcoming Events
