The city confirmed that our neighborhood is officially getting the new skatepark. I honestly never imagined this would happen so quickly and it is entirely because of your support. Please keep an eye out for updates on the construction schedule as things start moving forward.

I honestly never thought we would reach five hundred signatures when I first started this project. It is truly humbling to see so many people who care about the neighborhood and our local skaters as much as I do. This momentum belongs entirely to the community members who took the time to show up.

Indianapolis needs this. Najor taylor has been a great skatepark for a long time but due to inconsistent repairs and the promise to add on always falling through indy needs a better platform for people who partake in extreme sports.
My son, Ethan, loved skating and would have loved to see Indy start building parks like this for the communities here. I'm looking forward to the day when kids from anywhere in the city can easily access a safe and well designed skatepark. INDY NEEDS THIS.
I am just learning but I think this is a great idea.
Skateboarding has grown to a point in Indiana where it needs more support. Indianapolis has thousands of skateboarders and only one skatepark. Those numbers just don't add up.

Grew up skating mall parking lot's and getting harassed by the powers that be. Would not to like my children to have to break the law to pursue healthy exercise. Major Taylor skatepark is 25 years old. Times change, Update for the next generation
I hope this is the first of many. The next generation needs more support from our city. Skateparks make a big difference.
quality time with my son is hitting skate parks on nice days and weekends the skate park although everyone waits a turn is packed and hard to put good runs together it would be great to add on to or build another park there is a lot of talent here in Indy they need room to grow
Quality skateparks are a must these days. They encourage a sense of community and physical activity.
Skateparks promote good heart health
Variety is always good, and that goes for anything.
Let's do a radio interview about this? 327-398-2200- ask for Penny lane
Make a new park already
I strongly believe we need a new skate park here in indy the parks we have are amazing but I feel it would improve the skating here in indy if we had a new park. and a indoor park as well
Indy needs more skateboarding!
I'd love to see more skateparks around central Indianapolis
pls
Swag
I vote yes
Build the park
I appreciate what y'all do since I joined the army all I want to do is give back to skateboard community.
Build something that's at least 12' deep and/or a VERT ramp. Indy's terrain is all tiny.
Hire the right builders!
Providing the community with a safe place to skate is a great idea.
Skate parks are rarely without people using them, even in the winter time. Go look around at any basketball baseball soccer tennis court and most likely they won't be occupied.
100% for it
The city needs this. The skater kids need this. Also, us skater adults need this. Thanks
Been biking there for over a decade. Glad we are improving in
I spent most of my life skating in Indy! I was a part of the original INDY SKATE PARK in 1978 I would love to be a part of facilitating this project!
We need this. Too much of youth these days are inside playing video games. We need to show that there can be fun outside as well.
This needs to happen
More people need to sign!
Please! We could sit and admire Louisville, KY and their major investment, or we could put Indy on the Map too... 11" Deep Bowl Too Please!
Need more skateparks! Keeps kids focused and out of trouble.
it's awesome what they indy skate park advocates are doing for the Indy skateboards it shows us that some people actually care about us enough to actually put forth the effort to give us more places to skate and advance our skill and give us more challenges and I would love to thank the Indy skate park advocates for showing how much the care about the skateboarding family in Indianapolis
Do it
INDIANA needs more skate parks.
Long over due.
Long over due for sure. This is what INDY NEEDS. STOKED FOR INDY SKATERS.
We could use more skateparks to help keep younger skateboarders and bmxers off of the streets and in safer environments to skate, at the same time a main part in skating is the streets, but Indianapolis is a difficult place to find places that are good spots that police wont interfere at.
Do it
DOOOO ITTYT!!
Let's gets park in Muncie soon!
Always need more parks! They keep skaters from getting hurt on the streets skating and would you rather know that kids are in a park skating, or god knows were doing things people don't wanna know about.
I think this would be great and would keep a lot of skaters off of the street ! :)
Rad
Wonderful idea!
i was a skater back home in indy. now i am a soldier after my deployment to iraq i should be coming home soon to see my family and would love to enjoy new skate parks.
This new skate park is needed
We would enjoy another park in the Indianapolis area,thank you
I think it would be great as long as both bikes and skateboards are allowed.
I feel this would be a Great Improvement to our city for the kids, and those of us adults that still ride and won't let go of our childhood.
A new skatepark for this thriving central Indiana skate scene? I totally back that.
This would be a very positive thing for Indianapolis. The Skatepark Advocates have a strong vision, and I fully support their efforts.
This is very much needed in Indianapolis.
There are still tons of roller bladders in the area that would love a new park as well. WWW.Indianainline.com
We need a new skatepark! Please consider seriously.
"No" shouldn't be an option.
We need more skate parks in Indiana. This would be good for a lot of skaters starting out, due to the fact some may not be able get transportation to curtain skateparks
The park would be a positive environment for children and young people to spend their time.
Been skating for most of my youth and even pick up my board from time to time at age 29. Skateboarding kept me busy physically and mentally. I ended up making some life long friends too. It was something that kept me off drugs and alcohol at a young age because I needed a clear mind that in order to pull off tricks and not hurt myself. Skateboarding is an amazing activity especially if you have a fun and safe place to go do it at. We need more skateparks!
Indy is an amazing city i hate to see it lack in opportunities for the youth to advance themselves in a positive manor
Please.
YEE WE NEED ONE
Hope this moves forward! Indianapolis needs more inner city parks. Better yet an official skatepark of Indianapolis.
Indiana needs more skate parks, especially with the rise in street bmx and skate,a well built street plaza would be good for bmx riders, skate boarders, and the city of Indianapolis.
This would help "us" as skates out so much and we would be greatly appreciative
I think it's important to offer our kids someplace to go to do this activity and keep them from getting in trouble.
indiana needs to terrain !
Indiana needs more places for kids to skate. Not enough places that are local w/o traveling to other states.
Make it happen!
Skate or die
We need this!
Tight.
yes please
East side by raymond park !!!
Come on Indy!
I can personally say that skating kept me out of a lot of trouble, this city could use another skatepark so kids have something to do. I am all in on this one!
We need this forsure, i think any skateboarder would agree
Please
Keep pushing, keep peddling
Haven't skated in years but still support skateboarding. It was some of the best years of my life.
We need this desperately
Make it happen!
I have been riding all of my life and would live to see a new park ! It would be sick and keep these guys off the streets
I have lived in Indy almost all my life and our community is long overdue for a new skatepark.
We need it
I bmx, kids and adults even need places to go to ride (bmx, scooter, skate, rollerblade) i live about a half hour from the closest skate park which is in terre haute indiana, im there most of my days off and most of the days after i work. Kids are riding bikes and skate boards 20, 30 miles just so be able to ride then at the end of their long day they have to pedal or push their way back home, we need to make it easier for the kids that want to stay active to keep active and safe.
If you build it, I will come...
I will definitely go to this park
I would love to see this happen. I love skateboarding and I know this will positively influence youth in the area and keep them busy having clean safe fun.
Skateboarding is such an important part of some kids life and not all of them can make it to the other parks
If it is built. I will skate there
New skatepark? YES
