 | Welcome to the Seattle Advocacy Guide!This section of the site is intended to help people like you get a skatepark built in your neighborhood. Thanks to Seattle's recent Citywide Skatepark Planning process, the city has found a site for a skatepark in almost every neighborhood. Now each community in Seattle has an opportunity to get the benefit of a local skatepark. While the Seattle Skatepark Plan found places for skate parks across the city, it did not guarantee funding to build a park in each of those locations. Thus, is up to you to make sure that a well designed, well built, and most importantly - fun place for skateboarders actually gets built in your neighborhood. This guide is designed to help you do just that. We have put together this web site to guide you through each step that you will need to take in order to make your dream skate park a reality. We have also put together contact information for the kinds of people that you can look to for help, and the organizations that you will want to work with as you move closer to the kind of park that you will be proud to have in your neighborhood. In short, we have lined up the ingredients and the steps that you will need to take in combining those ingredients in order to bake up the right skate park for your neighborhood. This guide is the product of literally thousands of hours of experience in getting skateparks built in Seattle, the Puget Sound region, and beyond. Best of all, this is a process that works. As we have seen with successful projects in Seattle and elsewhere, communities can build fun, safe and low maintenance skate facilities that provide kids with a healthy social and recreational environment, enhance the character of a neighborhood, and integrate with a variety of neighbors and uses. Building a skatepark is not a project to be undertaken lightly, but with some hard work and the help of some like-minded friends and neighbors it does happen. We hope that this guide is helpful.
