A disproportionate segment of my adolescent life was spent doing one of three things: Skateboarding, talking about skateboarding, or watching skateboarding videos. This was back before the internets, when skateboarding culture was still misunderstood and seen as a general menace to civilization akin to the Russian paratroopers in Red Dawn Rosemary’s Baby dvd . To be a skateboarder in the late 80’s, you needed some sense of entrepreneurial spirit to practice your craft. To skate, you generally had three options.

First, you could go to the skateparks. The Turf

Skatepark in Milwaukee and Rotation Station in Rockford, IL both benefited from receiving large chunks of my minimum-wage earnings. These places were a skater’s paradise, but the true benefit of going to the parks was usually the people you met. You’d connect with other kids who shared the same passion you had for riding around on a plank of wood with four wheels. Turf’s “Elvira” pinball machine and exquisitely curated jukebox were perks as well.

A couple summers, dozens of trips to the lumber yard, and a few hundred hours of work and we had ourselves a veritable private skatepark. A forty-foot wide, masonite-sheathed, private indoor skatepark in cold, snowy Wisconsin. My childhood was closer to heaven than I’ll ever be again.

I’ve heard rumblings for last few years that a group of young skateboarders, Tosa Skateboarders United White Christmas movie (TSU), were working on a proposal for a skatepark in Wauwatosa, the city I moved to a few years ago. Well, apparently they’ve been working hard, and through the right channels. I just read today that a plan has been selected for a brand new public skatepark. It’s an amazing design by the Site Design Group, which specializes in design and construction of action sports terrain. Click the image above to see a larger view of the plan.

in the heart of the city. They’ve really done their homework and have held community meetings to discuss the plans, get feedback from citizens and involve people interested in the project. It’s a great example of a small group of passionate citizens pleading their case and the municipality listening and responding. This is the kind of project that makes paying property taxes worth it.
