Edwardsville, known for its affluent image and home to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), lacks a local skatepark, with the nearest one 10 miles away. This gap presents an opportunity to invest in the city's large youth demographic, including college, middle school, and high school students, who are significantly interested in skateboarding. The proposed skatepark aims to be a public, permanent, and unique facility, reflecting local culture and minimizing noise. It's expected to provide numerous benefits, including promoting mental and physical health, fostering community engagement, and offering a free space for unstructured play and exercise, thus enhancing the community's identity.
