empty overpass in the Downtown St. Petersburg area.

Downtown St. Petersburg Skatepark

Target:
Skateboarders and anybody that is down to help out

There is a lot of overpass space in St. Petersburg, Florida.  This space is currently being used for the homeless, drug dealers, etc.  We would like the City of St. Petersburg to give us some space under one of the overpasses to build a skater operated skate park.  The space under an overpass being utilized for a skate park would better serve the community by offering space for skateboarders.  The skate parks in the City of St. Petersburg do not meet the needs of the skateboarders inasmuch as they were not designed and built by skateboarders.  An overpass would also offer protection from the elements and would potentially draw in a lot of visitors to the area. 


If u would like to become a part of the change to the St. Petersburg skate scene please sign this Petition and pass it along to your friends.  Every signature counts!

actually stop vilonence, drug wars and other bs in the neighborhood, make a place where kids and adults can go to downtown and not worry about their children skateboarding alone or with friends.

Change is good!

Skate Parks are alluring to the youth of today and give them something to physically accomplish.

Gives the inner city kids something to do instead of standing on the corner selling drugs and keeps them away from gangs, basically staying out of trouble and also keeps them in shape, cause most of the kids now days are obese and lazy.

As a local skateboarder for the last 15 years I have seen the sport go from something that all participants did "around town" to being completely unacceptable to do in "public". As an adult I can relate to people not wanting there ledges getting torn up, but a lot of the skateparks that are city built are assembled from some skate ramp catalog by a bunch of people who have no clue how to assemble a proper park or even what is fun for us to skate. Skater built parks are a must for the future of the sport. Take Lake Vista for example. With parks like this skaters will actually want skate it over the average public destinations. The goal should be to build a "spot" instead of a park. If you build something that offers variety and fun, you can be assured that this will be the only place people will want to skate. Sincerely, David James

I would love to see a positive change in the the burg!

We need skateparks closer to our homes and at places that arent so dangerous. this will help everyone. thank you

This is sensible and obvious reappropriation of misused, government-owned land. Isn't about time that government, whether it be local or federal, did something that JUST MAKES SENSE? POWER TO THE SHEEPLE!
