Important Meeting SEA skaters!

The next scheduled meeting for the Seattle Parks and Recreation Skate Park Advisory Committee (SPAC) will be next Monday May 11. The meeting will be in the usual location in the Parks and Recreation Building located at 100 Dexter North, Seattle, WA 98109. The current draft of the meeting agenda is pasted below.

THIS MEETING IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE as we will be accepting public comment and having a subsequent SPAC committee vote on diverting much needed funds (upwards of $750k!) into the Delridge Skatepark which has a funded design but is lacking construction money. Matt Johnston provides a good summary of this issue at the bottom of this email – please read on. We need your support to prove to the Parks Department, Parks for All Levy Oversight Committee and the City Council members that the Delridge Skatepark deserves these funds. The Parks Superintendent, Director of Planning, and Delridge Skatepark Project Manager will be on hand to further discuss the path forward for this project and listen to our feedback. Please show up and bring your friends. It is VERY RARE that you have the direct opportunity to vote for the near-term construction a skatepark – this is your chance.

As always, please check www.seattleskateparks.org for more information.

Ryan Barth

Chairperson, Skate Park Advisory Committee
