Local skater urges $20,000 fix for downtown skate park
Summary
Noah Selkirk, a local skater who helped rebuild the park previously, asked the council to invest about $20,000 in durable materials to repair the skate park so it will last 15–20 years for youth in the community.
Noah Selkirk told the council the downtown skate park has fallen into disrepair and urged city investment to replace low-quality materials with longer-lasting components.
"I think it's fair to spend $20,000 to fix the skate park properly with the proper materials and it'll last 15, 20 years," Selkirk said, adding that the facility had helped raise and keep kids engaged in constructive activity. He said he helped rebuild the site previously and asked council support for a more durable repair.
Mayor Schwartzman and council members thanked Selkirk for speaking and encouraged continued engagement with Parks staff to discuss options and budgets. Selkirk’s request was made during the public-comment portion of the meeting and no formal action on skate-park funding or a repair contract was taken at this session.
