Excellent,

I took my 8 yo and 10 yo all the way to the Ballard to get a chance to ride in a bowl today, and the ride from WS to Ballard was a little long… I also thought about going to Woodland Park for the new skate park.

what a great experience, families with with kids walking around, expert skaters giving everyone a show. It was a beautiful day and every one had a great time.

I can’t wait to have my kids skate in a safe area near our home.

Delridge has always been at the top of my list of best locations for a WS skatepark. It’s easy to get to (by bus, bike or car), at a community center (bathrooms, water, programming, existing playground structure), has a pedestrian bridge across Delridge to Youngstown Cultural Art Center (art, music, exercise) and a dense population of kids/families looking for something to do. I have lived here in the area for 12 years and know there is a huge demand for a local skatepark. Hopefully, we can rally together and get Delridge in the budget and built for 2009.

Sorry, comment time is over.
