| Welcome!
Parents for Skateparks seeks to connect kids of all ages to resources for building skateparks in their very own neighborhoods.
We support skateboarding advocacy in all shapes and sizes, and by people from all walks of life, with or without children of their own.
Our work is focused on expanding the traditional "stroller set" paradigm of playground design and construction to include and encourage the skaters of the future.
We believe this is a positive way to help our kids be happy, healthy citizens of twenty-first century America.

Toward a Maple Leaf Skatepark
|
Please urge Seattle City Councilmember Sally Bagshaw
to build a new skatepark at the Maple Leaf Reservoir
using tax dollars from the Parks and Green Spaces Levy
in order to fulfill the promise of the Citywide Skatepark Plan in Northeast Seattle.

In a series of three public meetings, local residents asked Seattle Parks and Recreation to help realize the vision of a
"skateable city" by building a skatepark on the new Maple Leaf Reservoir lid.
But in the final design meeting, the Department announced that a new skatepark would cost an additional $120,000, to be raised separately by the skaters themselves.
|
Demand transparency and accountability from your government by asking our elected officials to work with the Skate Park Advisory Committee in its effort to bring a world-class skatepark, designed and built by qualified professionals, to the Maple Leaf Neighborhood.
For more information about the proposed Maple Leaf Skatepark, please see the campaign flyer.
For the status of this and other Seattle Skateparks, please see our skateparks page.
