Fox Skatepark - City of Santa Cruz
Major Victory in Oakland!
Skaters were highly successful in negociating the DIY
skatepark stay open. Future discussions, no doubt, but WOW. Thanks
to everyone who supported this, especially the Politicians who got
on skaters bandwagon! (posted 8/5)

Please email Mayor
Jerry Brown to protest the tearing down of this
park skaters built themselves.

- (9/23/03) an interactive page concerning the
influx of playground equipment companies calling themselves "park
builders" and the problems they bring to the skateboard industry.
Please sign the petition to give LOVE Park back to
the skaters yeah! (click the logo) Thanks!
UPDATE: I think the petition
is still ongoing. You may have heard that DC Shoes offered the Mayor
of Phili 1mil to cover any damages to Love that skaters might impose
in the next few years. They were shined on, the Mayor refused the
money!
