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.

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

Tyson Fritts

I hope this is the first of many. The next generation needs more support from our city. Skateparks make a big difference.

Charles Randall

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

Jesse wilson

Quality skateparks are a must these days. They encourage a sense of community and physical activity.

Joseph

Skateparks promote good heart health

Gilbert Balanzar

Variety is always good, and that goes for anything.

Penny Diersing

Let's do a radio interview about this? 327-398-2200- ask for Penny lane

Trevor

Make a new park already

Tracy d reams jr

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

Kyle Carson

Indy needs more skateboarding!

William Rhodes

I'd love to see more skateparks around central Indianapolis

I vote yes

Chris

Build the park

Thomas Drouillard

I appreciate what y'all do since I joined the army all I want to do is give back to skateboard community.

Todd Morrow

Build something that's at least 12' deep and/or a VERT ramp. Indy's terrain is all tiny.

Dan Ehara

Hire the right builders!

Chris cantwell

Providing the community with a safe place to skate is a great idea.

Dean Leavens

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.

Justin

100% for it

The city needs this. The skater kids need this. Also, us skater adults need this. Thanks

Anthony Lauinger

Been biking there for over a decade. Glad we are improving in

RUSSELL SMITH

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!

Michael knipp

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.

Elijah Napier

This needs to happen

Michael Gage

More people need to sign!

Peter Furnee

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!

Mike Angel

Need more skateparks! Keeps kids focused and out of trouble.

Tracy reams jr

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

Justin

Do it

James Longwith

INDIANA needs more skate parks.

Jamie Moore

Long over due.

Bart Kelley

Long over due for sure. This is what INDY NEEDS. STOKED FOR INDY SKATERS.

Jacob mckain

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.

Derek Fletcher

Do it

Evan greve

DOOOO ITTYT!!

Brandon Simmons

Let's gets park in Muncie soon!

Jonathan Ray

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.

Jesah

I think this would be great and would keep a lot of skaters off of the street ! :)

thomas

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.

Shane hickey

This new skate park is needed

Greg cravens

We would enjoy another park in the Indianapolis area,thank you

Jerry White

I think it would be great as long as both bikes and skateboards are allowed.

Blaine Nusbaum

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.

Tyler williams

A new skatepark for this thriving central Indiana skate scene? I totally back that.

Jason Smith

This would be a very positive thing for Indianapolis. The Skatepark Advocates have a strong vision, and I fully support their efforts.

Wayne Russell

This is very much needed in Indianapolis.

Seth Andrews

There are still tons of roller bladders in the area that would love a new park as well. WWW.Indianainline.com

Nick Traycoff

We need a new skatepark! Please consider seriously.

Jay Garriott

"No" shouldn't be an option.

David

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

Matt Bedsole

The park would be a positive environment for children and young people to spend their time.

Zach porter

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!

Neil khalil

Indy is an amazing city i hate to see it lack in opportunities for the youth to advance themselves in a positive manor

Joseph Kirkwood

Please.

Emery Thompson

YEE WE NEED ONE

Mark Fultz

Hope this moves forward! Indianapolis needs more inner city parks. Better yet an official skatepark of Indianapolis.

Tyler Jackson

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.

Jacob Trueblood

This would help "us" as skates out so much and we would be greatly appreciative

Amanda

I think it's important to offer our kids someplace to go to do this activity and keep them from getting in trouble.

Bryce miller

indiana needs to terrain !

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!

Gary

Justin Penelton

Haven't skated in years but still support skateboarding. It was some of the best years of my life.

Rebecca

We need this desperately

Halle Leganza

Isaiah Potter

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

Nick Traycoff

I have lived in Indy almost all my life and our community is long overdue for a new skatepark.

Preston Lowry

We need it

Johnathan harley davidson

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.

Scott Bates

If you build it, I will come...

Hans Frank

I will definitely go to this park

Joel Contreras

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.

Charles Randall

Skateboarding is such an important part of some kids life and not all of them can make it to the other parks

Some of my greatest memories not only as an adolescent but as an adult were/have been made at a skatepark. Great way to keep kids active and out of trouble.

I do not skate, but I've been a fan my whole life. I fully support skateboarding, kids in this town don't seem to have anywhere to go. My friends that skate always have to travel to find a park.

Yes, Indiana needs to be more sympathetic to skateboarding, It is not a fad. It is here to stay. We have too many football and baseball fields that will never see as much use as a skatepark. Please listen. also, concrete is the way to go due to low maintenance.
