Skateboarding and urban art are vibrant, healthy outlets that bring communities together, yet Terre Haute currently lacks dedicated spaces for both. Skaters are forced to resort to street spots and parking lots, while local artists have few safe, legal spaces to practice large-scale visual art.
Why this matters:
• Youth & Recreation: Gives local youth a safe, free, and positive environment to stay active and build community.
• Supports Local Artists: Gives muralists and visual artists a legal spot to refine their craft openly without fear of citations.
• Reduces Unwanted Vandalism: Cities with designated legal art walls consistently see a reduction in unsanctioned tagging on surrounding private and public property.
• Community Culture: Turns an underutilized area into a creative hub that showcases local talent and brings people together.
By signing this petition, you are urging the Terre Haute City Council and Department of Parks and Recreation to allocate land, explore park grants, and partner with local residents to make this park a reality.
