Hello SJC Skate Park Coalition and Supporters!

It’s been a long journey and a lot of work that has gone on behind the scenes! I truly believe the Skate Jams that you guys all helped put together were the tipping point for the city to finally recognize the need for our own park! I would like to send a big thank you to all the supporters and all of the community members that came together to make those happen. Thank you for all the vendors and sponsors that came out and supported us. A big thank you to the city of SJC, community center, boys and girls club, and the SJC City Counsel.

Thank you to all the people that continually made the board meetings put in the extra effort to support our mission. Eric Gross (Great Ops), Travis Perrin (Millennium), Mo Henderson, Jenna Green, China Florentino, Matt Sheridan (Basic of Skate boarding), Cody Martin, Todd Rodarmel (Mountain View Church), and of course the SJCSPC Board!

I would like to send an extra thank you to Jerry Muir and Tina Auclair for putting in a lot of unseen and unrecognized work to keep us compliant and manage all the back end administrative duties. A Big shout-out to Jim Gilbert for single handedly making sure everyone in the city of SJC, every skate park in southern California, and so many more knew about our mission!
Thank you to Kerry Ferguson for the many hours she devoted to review the support petitions and summarize the contact email addresses. Mrs. Ferguson was a great supporter on and off the city council. I would also like to recognize Tom Perrin for his early work as a founding member of the Coalition.

We will keep everyone posted on any news we hear and hope to see you all at the opening day!!! Team work makes the dream work!!!

Hello Skate Park Supporters!!!

There are people that oppose the skatepark being built in San Juan Capistrano at the location the City has provided.
This location is a small section (approximately ½ acre) of the city owned 27 acre property that is being operated by The Ecology Center and next to the Sports Park.
We have come so far and expected to see the SJC Skatepark completed this year but a small group of people that apparently live nearby and have not followed the progress we all have made this far.
PLEASE mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 5th @ 5PM and attend the City Council meeting where the skatepark will be discussed.
WE NEED as many people there as possible to let the City know we have waited long enough and to move forward with getting it DONE.
If you can’t make it PLEASE send an email to [email protected] at your first convenience but no later than April 1 so it will be included in the agenda.
THANK YOU ALL!

We’re almost there… PARK

SKATEPARK IS BEING OPPOSED!!

After over a decade of meetings and SCJ City Council approval to move the skatepark forward there is now a group of people in opposition. There was a Planning Commission meeting last week where the commission was meeting just to approve the zone change needed from farm/agricultural to allow for the skatepark on the Kinosh*ta farm which is run by The Ecology Center. To our knowledge it has already been agreed upon and this last step was needed to formalize the process.

We all know how long it's been and how many meetings, skate jams, petitions etc. we've all participated in to BUILD THE SKATEPARK here in SJC. Since there were over 40+ letters opposing the skatepark and several speakers at that meeting, the city has now allowed 30 days for additional community response. You can bet those opposed are working hard on getting more letters sent in. WE NEED YOU!

WE NEED YOU to write, email, call AND show up at the next meeting to show the numbers of community members that are in SUPPORT of getting the skatepark built in SJC NOW, as promised. We will let know the date as soon as we know when it is on the schedule. Please forward this email to anyone you know that supports the skatepark in SJC.
