The Spirit Skatepark was built in memory of two Hopkinton high school graduates that died in March 2000. The two victims enjoyed skateboarding, therefore the Spirit Skatepark was dedicated by the Shumway and Carr families. Both families raised over $300,000 in materials, donations, and volunteer labor, the skate park has no cost to the town. Deb Nicholson of the skateboard park committee, donated $5,000 to to the town for future maintenance.
People from all over New Hampshire travel to the Spirit Skate Park because it's one of the nicer parks in the area. The park has been open for years attracting little kids on tricycles to professional BMXers and skateboarders.
