Poulsbo commissioners praise skate‑park fundraiser, plan community graffiti wall
Summary
Commissioners said a Super Pig fundraiser drew about 100 people and raised funds for the skate‑park refresh; staff and schools will collaborate on a community graffiti wall and may fund paint through leftover grants or a winter request to North Kitsap Schools Foundation.
Commissioners celebrated a recent fundraiser for the skate‑park refresh, calling the event a strong community turnout. "It was a huge turnout for a Tuesday night too," one commissioner said, estimating roughly 100 attendees and noting a lively auction.
Staff described next steps for a community graffiti wall tied to the skate‑park project: advisory members will provide dimensions and art samples to student artists, and the group is weighing whether to use leftover committee funds or apply for a winter grant (North Kitsap Schools Foundation) to purchase spray paint and materials. Commissioners said a school makerspace might help funnel materials and in‑kind support.
Why it matters: the fundraiser both generated money for the short‑term skate‑park work and expanded community engagement that commissioners said could support future capital fundraising and programming. The commission asked staff to follow up with concrete cost estimates and to coordinate with local schools on timeline and materials.
