How did the skatepark come to be you ask? well here's our story:
In the early 1990's skaters had free reign to the Town of Hayward to skate and shred with little or no problems. As interest in the sport grew, so did the amount of skaters and soon there were problems. In 1994 Erik Lawry, an avid skateboarder, proposed a Skatepark to the Hayward City Council as part of a school project. To his surprise, they told him to do some more research and come up with a proposal and they would consider the park. Erik started gathering as much information as he could in the hope that his dream could become a reality. In june 1995 Erik was tragically killed in a dirt bike accident. In memory of erik, his family, friends and community banded together and took up the cause. They held funraisers, such as, snow tubing and snowboarding parties, snowmobile speed runs and airplane rides in order to raise the funds needed for the construction of the park. By 1998, local skaters and Lester Construction Company finished the plans for the park. In the summer of 1998, the "all concrete" park was completed and the Erik Lawry memorial Park was born. A non-profit organization was started with the task of maintaining the park and keeping it free for skaters, bikers and bladers. Little did they know that lightening would strike twice. In June of 2001, Randy died unexpectedly on a fishing trip in canada. The board though it only right to honor Randy's hard work and dedication by adding his name to the park. The Randy & Erik Lawry Memorial (RELM) Park Association board works hard to keep our fallen heroes dream alive. Fundraisers are held in order to have the funding to maintain and improve the park. The annual RELM Fest is held at the park each year to help promote action sports and offer healthy competition. The goal of the organization is to offer youths a safe and fun place to learn a nd practice their sport. The boad continues to raise funds for the remoceling and expansion of the currendt park. The park will then become 100" efficient and combine both street and pool riding in one place. This would allow youths a chance to find their fullest potential. The board holds monthly meetings and cnoourages anyone to attend and participate.
