💥 Help save Blackwell DIY by signing their petition! 💥 www.change.org/saveblackwelldiy 💥💥💥 “The Blackwell DIY Skatepark was started by a group of skateboarders in the community when they saw a need for more places to skate in Southern Oregon. What used to be just empty space and gravel in a tunnel on the bike path slowly evolved into a skate spot with unique features not seen in any of the other parks in the area. Families have been bringing their kids down to learn how to skate, and the neighbors have been nothing but ecstatic about this positive contribution to the community. People who haven’t picked up a skateboard in years are getting back on their boards because of how excited they are about the spot. The increase in traffic to the area also brings business to the market across the street from the skatepark as well as other local businesses. The builders have been in contact with ODOT (Oregon District of Transportation) for about a month now as the ODOT owns the bridge above the bike path, and they are just as excited about the project as the builders are but the builders have run into some liability issues that they are attempting to work out with local city officials. The builders and local skaters will be attending city meetings and talking to Parks & Rec in hopes that with enough signatures and support from the community they will get to save the Blackwell DIY! 💥💥💥 @frankshaw_ @steelheadconcrete @james_tranch @_caitlinnolan 💥💥💥 #buildxdestroy #savediy #skate #oregon #core #skateboarding #saveblackwelldiy #blackwelldiy (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPRy24glsHe/?utm_medium=tumblr
