Chico's skatepark wants to expand and improve the current park, learn more at http://www.fixchicoskatepark.com. Along with the expansion we would like to see bikes allowed in the park. Please sign the petition and donate at http://fixchicoskatepark.bigcartel.com/ if you agree. Thank you.
VISION: Chico has a population of almost 90,000 people, but the Chico skatepark (Humboldt Avenue Skatepark) pales in comparison to parks in much smaller surrounding communities such as Corning, Oroville, and soon Live Oak. The Chico skatepark is built for beginning skaters and due to the creek side location, low flow of drive through traffic and the grass area adjacent to the park, it has become a draw for drug use, drinking, and sleeping by non-skaters. Chico Skatepark Solutions has a vision of removing the grass area and seating in the park, replacing it with intermediate and advanced skatepark designs that will draw in both adult and family skaters, and establishing the park as a place to skateboard. Additionally, Chico Skatepark Solutions is interested in helping the city to build additional skateparks. It is estimated that there should be one skatepark for every 25,000 people. Chico has one underbuilt park for 90,000 people. It is time for change!
