Twisp council hears push for skatepark after survey shows 99% support
Summary
Residents told the Twisp council a public survey produced 150 responses with 99% support for a community skatepark; advocates said they intend to rely on grants and donations rather than a tax levy.
Twisp — Residents urged the Twisp Town Council on Jan. 27 to support a community skatepark after the Twisp Skatepark Coalition reported a public survey had produced 150 responses with overwhelming favor.
"Since posting it on Sunday, there have been 150 responses with 99% in support," said Sarah Hendrickson, speaking for the Twisp Skatepark Coalition. She said the coalition has posted the survey link on bulletin boards and social media and distributed flyers with a QR code across the valley. Hendrickson said primary concerns raised so far are visibility and the possibility of a tax levy, and that the coalition hopes to fund the park with grants and donations only.
Council Member Tim Matsui told the council he had spoken with the coalition and said he was excited about the energy behind the effort. Council members did not take formal action at the meeting but heard the public comments and later discussed the matter during council updates.
