San Francisco is closing in on finalizing the plans for a new skatepark. They have enough money for the skatepark or a basketball court. Show your support by e-mailing Rich Hills ( rich.hillis2@sfgov.org ) from the San Francisco city planners and let him know why a skatepark is needed.

Awesome, just emailed for ya! Funny thing is it looks a dead ringer for the southbank in London which while not a dedicated Skatepark certainly looked like the designers worked for New Deal or someone at the time (Early 90's).

Definitely e-mailing as well Matt. Remember the good times skating EMB, "The New Spot", the piers and other spots back in the day but they all always got shut down. The city needs a legit spot for skaters.

yeah man i remember when i use to just go to Pier 7 and skate with no worries, but when they put the metal pieces on the ledges it really hurt the skateboarding community in SF! Hell the embarcadero was just like a big skate park...
