SkateFe is under immediate threat of closure after a new bank purchased the land for resale. We need them to understand how key this location is to the community and how many people this touches. By signing this online petition you will not only be saving an amazing skate spot built by skaters for skaters, but you will be helping the community of Visalia and skateboarding as a whole.

We are currently meeting with local planners to present the petition as evidence of community heritage. Please email your city representative today to demand they prioritize our land use rights. Tell them plainly that SkateFe represents the soul of our neighborhood.

skate parks play a large role in youth lives. they meet friends, practice tricks, meet friend, and maybe even get sponsored , leading them to their dream job.You wouldn't tear down a baseball field or football field, why tear down a skate park?
it's better to save a community like this instead of tearing it down for something of economic gain. Nobody would care how much income your bank would gain if people knew you had to take this amazing place away from the people who actually cherished it.
Nothing brings together a community like a DIY skatepark. I skate in San Pedro and am a part of the SPSA a non-profit. We started as a small DIY and now have impacted the community so greatly that even the City of Los Angeles shows it's support.
Skatefe is a positive environment which brought people from a bunch of different backgrounds together and gave them the opportunity to build a culture of creativity and recreation. I don't understand why anybody would want to take that away from the youth!
My sons helped built this park and they and all of their skater friends love it. There are worst places they can be and far worst things that they can be doing! I hope everyone realizes how important this is to and for them and helps save SkateFe.
I grew up skateboarding in Visalia. They should keep the skate park open.
Save the park there’s better opportunities out there leave this one alone it would cause mass pain if removed it should be a landmark
