It is because of community support and volunteers that GBASO, Northeast Wisconsin’s only indoor action sports facility, opened its doors on March 15, 2014. Within the past few years, GBASO welcomed over 3,500 new members, representing over 240 cities, 11 states, and 2 countries.  GBASO houses ramps, a skating bowl, and a street course where people can enjoy skateboarding, BMX biking, inline skating, and scootering.  In addition, climbers enjoy our indoor bouldering cave.  With childhood obesity rates increasing and kids spending more and more time on electronic devices, it's critical that our youth have a safe place to get active all year-round.  GBASO is that place!

GBASO provides a facility to grow our youth's physical skills through exercise, camps, and lessons.  We grow social skills with friendships, birthday parties, and volunteer opportunities.  We also build leadership skills with coaching and volunteer opportunities.  GBASO leverages action sports to help youth grow life skills including; risk taking, goal setting, perseverance, and respect.

GBASO strives to keep membership rates low so that families with varying economic status can enjoy the park.  Our session rates are $10, with monthly youth memberships as low as $30.  This is a much lower cost than other indoor skateparks in the Midwest.  In addition to open sessions, our summer camps, school field trips, autism events, home-school classes, birthday parties, and kids’/girls' nights that have been put on by GBASO have proven to increase youth involvement and activity.

In addition to helping area youth, GBASO has also welcomed hundreds of visitors from areas outside of Green Bay/Fox Valley.  This is because we are the only action sports  facility north of Milwaukee.

GBASO is a nonprofit 501c3.
