In 2003 we were inspired. We were inspired by the City of Philadelphia, City Council and Mayor John Street when they said, “Here's 2.5 acres, now go make a skatepark.” We talked to our neighbors and friends, community leaders, and an architect. What was imagined was not a skatepark. It was a park, for everyone, that just happens to be skateboard friendly.
So that's where we started.
We got approval from the Art Commission and the Fairmount Park Commission and pushed on to seek further momentum through donations from legislators, businesses and individuals. Together we are building a piece of the Philadelphia of tomorrow.
We're ready. To give our city another reason to say…
Thank You
