About Us
What is Park Affair
We launched Park Affair with a clear mission: to build a space in the terrain park where women could feel confident, empowered, and unstoppable. In just a few years, this vision has evolved into a thriving community united by common values.
While our foundation is in snowboarding, our platform extends far beyond the slopes. We offer a variety of programs, including camps, mentorships, community engagement, donation drives, gear collaborations, competitions, and exclusive events that highlight the incredible energy of this community

“Park Affair is all about community over competition, and that has been such a big influence on me as I progress my riding. I’ve met women from all over the northeast who share the same passions I do, and it has been such a treat to experience my own accomplishments alongside other women who are also pushing themselves while cheering on and supporting others. It’s so unique and I think Mercedes and Hailey have outdone themselves to curate a mental and physical safe space that allows women to push their boundaries.” – MacKenzie Hennessey, Park Affair Photographer and Community Member, X Games Winner

“Park Affair is a group of really rad, genuine women who are all driven and all share the same passion for uplifting one another. Hailey and Mercedes have cultivated a welcoming, athletic, creative, environment for anyone who has that itch to try action sports. This community is built upon true, honest, welcoming people. A network of strong women supporting each other in such male dominated sports is long overdue. Park Affair’s presence organically demands your attention and turns head not only by our ability on the snow, surf or skatepark, but also from our characters! Park Affair is that much needed breath of fresh air in such trying times.” – Amanda Dibbs, Park Affair Ambassador, Coach, and Mentor


“With Park Affair I feel like I’ve found my people, which can be and has been tricky as a woman in athletic spaces. I look forward to it every year and cancel all things that might interfere with my attendance. It’s legit like a reunion. I’ve tried to make it my business to give back to Park Affair too, hoping to reciprocate the positive energy and inspiration. I think that may be the driving force behind Park Affair, reciprocity.” – Afalalu Muhammadu, Ambassador, and Creative Division
