FSC's priority is to address the needs of action sports riders by upgrading and expanding the John Weaver Memorial Skatepark at Growden Park. Currently, it is the only professionally built outdoor skatepark in Fairbanks. Built by the Fairbanks North Star Borough in 1997, it is in urgent need of an upgrade and expansion. Project Scope Complete replacement and expansion of the John Weaver Memorial Skate park at Growden Park Phase 1 - Project Design • Continue research and bid work with Skatepark Design Firms • American Ramp Company & Spohn Ranch • Finalize Skatepark Design & Schematics • Continue Community Engagement ll Page Phase 1 Update Design (Expected Completion December 2019) Quotes for design services have been acquired. No design firm has been contracted with at this time. Skatepark design, detailed cost analysis, and final construction documentation are first priority once sufficient funding has been secured. Phase 2 - Project Development • Final Project Construction Documentation • Bid Contractor/Quality Assurance • Raise enough funds & in-kind support to build park (Estimated $SOOK) • Build the Park - Estimated construction start t ime is Spring 2021 Phase 3 - Project Sustainability • FSC will set aside 3% of project funding for maintenance A well designed and professionally built skatepark requires very little maintenance and upkeep year to year. Our local skate community has been providing cleanliness and upkeep themselves since its inception . Our goal as the Fairbanks Skatepark Coalition is to continue to provide an organization that the skate community and borough can partner with to keep our skatepark like new. Concrete skate park maintenance is very low. Most Parks Departments do not consider their skate parks to be a significant maintenance concern . Agencies preparing for ongoing skate park maintenance expenses have usually not investigated the demands closely. Given their popularity, skate parks represent some of the greatest return on investment among the most popular recreational and athletic attractions. Total Cost of Project 8,000 to 10,000 SQ FT Park (Estimated $SOOK) Cost of skate park is contingent on final construction estimates. Park design concepts vary in complexity of features, landscaping, and square footage. Final design complexity and fundraising milestones will determine what type and size of park will get built. Options are available to build a park in a modular format. Add ing larger bowls, pump tracks, landscaping features, and more in the future once funding is secured . The actual cost of the skate park is, on average, 12% less than what the community originally estimated. This can be due to a reduction in the project scope, through a savings found in donated items and services, or a combination of both. National Average Skatepark Si ze : 11,876 sq. ft National Average Skatepark Co st per sq uare foot: $22.10 Pacific: 11,777 sq. ft Pacifi c: $31.02 Mountain: 16,184 sq. ft Mountain: $22.81 $40-45 per square foot for new projects. 15 years of data not adjusted for inflation. 21 Page SAFETY AND CODE COMPLIANCE 1. Does the project reduce or eliminate a health or safety risk? aves □ No Healthy and active recreation plays an important role in the lives of young Alaskans. It is not only important for physical health, but also for mental well-being. According to the 2017 statewide Youth Risk Behavior Survey, only 18.4 percent of Alaskan High School students get the recommended amount of physical activity each day and 40.6 percent report spending more than 3 hours each day of free time on a computer, tablet or other electronic device. While Fairbanks hosts ma ny opportunities to play team sports, many young people face barriers to participation. The cost of fees, uniforms and equipment can be prohibitive. Transportation is another barrier for many families, particularly single parent families who may find it difficult to take kids to and from practice and games each week. Finally, many young people experience social limitations, such as mental health issues or developmental disabilities that create challenges to participating in traditional team sports. Skateboarding, BMX biking, and other action sports are all low-cost recreational activities with few barriers. A quality skateboard or scooter can be purchased for around $100 and can last several seasons. Currently, the major barrier is simply a safe space to ride. On average, one skateboarder a week dies in the United States as a result of a skateboarding-related accidents. Nearly all of these tragedies occur in the streets, and a majority of them involve a motor vehicle. Skate parks draw skateboarders away from traffic and can be considered a valuable component of a public safety initiative. While the Borough has invested in playgrounds and facilities for team sports, it has not prioritized options for teenagers and young adults to engage in fun, age appropriate activities. Public skateparks provide healthy outlets and spaces for young people to engage with their community and provide an alternative activity to drinking and drug use . 3I Page FNSB CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2. In your opinion, what is the current condition of the facility? • Poor D This is a new facility □ Fair □ Good D Excellent Built by the Fairbanks North Star Borough in 1997, it is in urgent need of an upgrade and expansion. The park was designed for advanced riders, with few elements appropriate for beginners, which creates a major safety hazard as different levels are competing for the same small space. Size, maintenance and safety are all major issues caused by the age of the park and how it was constructed. It has an asphalt surface which is cracking, creating an uneven surface. Some of the elements, such as the half pipe and pyramid are rusting, and the structural integrity may be compromised. 3. Does the project improve accessibility compliance? (For example: parking lot design, doorway design, counter height, floor access, restroom access, etc.) aves O No Yes, the project will improve the accessibility greatly. How the parking lot and sidewalks are attached to the park will be greatly improved. Currently the park has a potholed parking lot, gravel lead up, wooden posts, and a narrow entrance through a chain-link fence to access the park. A new design would eliminate these barriers and create opportunities for adaptive recreation programs. 41 Page FNSB CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FACILITY CONDITION 4. How old is the facility since original construction? D 41 + years D This is a new facility D 31- 40 years • 21 - 30 years D 11 - 20 years □ 0 - 10 years 5. Does the project replace an existing facility? •Yes □ No If yes, please identify the building it would replace and any other supporting information, including the condition of the existing facility (poor, fair, good, excellent): Complete replacement and expansion of the John Weaver Memorial Skate park at Growden Park PROJECT FUNDING 6. What is the status of project funding?

  • 2017 SLS Nike SB World Tour and Only One Gets the Opportunity to Claim the Title ‘SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Champion’
    SLS NIKE SB WORLD TOUR: MUNICH SCHEDULE SLS 2016 1 JUNE 24, 2017 OLYMPIC PARK MUNICH ABOUT SLS Founded by pro skateboarder Rob Dyrdek in 2010, Street League Skateboarding (SLS) was created to foster growth, popularity, and acceptance of street skateboarding worldwide. Since then, SLS has evolved to become a platform that serves to excite the skateboarding community, educate both the avid and casual fans, and empower communities through its very own SLS Foundation. In support of SLS’ mission, Nike SB joined forces with SLS in 2013 to create SLS Nike SB World Tour. In 2014, the SLS Super Crown World Championship became the official street skateboarding world championship series as sanctioned by the International Skateboarding Federation (ISF). In 2015, SLS announced a long-term partnership with Skatepark of Tampa (SPoT) to create a premium global qualification system that spans from amateur events to the SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championship. The SPoT partnership officially transitions Tampa Pro into becoming the SLS North American Qualifier that gives one non-SLS Pros the opportunity to qualify to the Barcelona Pro Open and one non-SLS Pro will become part of the 2017 World Tour SLS Pros. Tampa Pro will also serve as a way for current SLS Pros to gain extra championship qualification points to qualify to the Super Crown. SLS is now also the exclusive channel for live streaming of Tampa Pro and Tampa Am. This past March, SLS Picks 2017, Louie Lopez, took the win at Tampa Pro, gaining him the first Golden Ticket of the year straight to Super Crown.

  • If So, We Need to Look at How We Build Their Skills, Confidence and Encourage Them to Explore the Healthy Activities Offered in the Community
    Do you believe that our youth will become our future leaders? If so, we need to look at how we build their skills, confidence and encourage them to explore the healthy activities offered in the community. We can encourage youth to build healthy bodies and minds that lead to good decisions and choices. One youth/young adult project that has been underway for some time now is the skate park project. This project has been led by a community of volunteers who have put considerable time and thought into the project. They have started the fundraising process with no desire to turn back. Jerome Conaty, one of the players involved, has been creating conversations involving youth, young adults, community service groups, Kelsey Recreation and the Town of The Pas. All of these conversations have moved the project forward with the group securing over one third of the total project cost to this point. This has been achieved through fundraising and various provincial grants. As well, the Moffat Foundation has provided a notable grant for the skatepark project. Fundraising is where most of the time is spent to secure community financial commitment or corporate gifts in kind. There is no better time than now to move forward with the project. The land is now allocated by the Town of The Pas. The new skate park site will be located east of the Wellness Center and south of the outdoor arena. This space is well lit and will become the hub of the community in both the winter and summer months. The skate park organizers believe that the youth need a modern outdoor skate park structure now more than ever because of the pandemic lockdown and its adverse health effects.

  • 1 How Skateboarding Made It to the Olympics
    How skateboarding made it to the Olympics: an institutional perspective Dr Mikhail Batuev, Professor Leigh Robinson, Northumbria University University of Stirling [email protected] [email protected] Health and Life Sciences, Northumberland Building, Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST, UK. Pathfoot Building, Stirling, FK9 4LA, UK +44 (0) 191 227 3840 +44 (0) 1786466281 Abstract Utilizing new institutionalism and resource-dependency theory this paper examines the organisational context within which skateboarding has developed and is continuing to develop. As a radical lifestyle activity, many within the sport of skateboarding have sought to distance themselves from the institutionalized competitive structure exemplified by the modern Olympic Games, despite a steady growth in competitive skateboarding within increasingly formal structures. The aim of this paper is to explore how the sport has operationally evolved and how, as a major youth sport, Olympic inclusion has impacted on its organisational arrangements. Data were collected through a series of semi-structured interviews and supplemented by selected secondary sources including social media analysis, sport regulations and policy statements. The conclusions of the research are: 1) unlike many other sports, skateboarding has always functioned as a network which includes event organizers, media companies, and equipment producers, with governing bodies playing a more peripheral role; 2) there was a strong lobby from elite skateboarders in support of inclusion in the Olympics although only on ‘skateboarders terms’; 3) interest from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which eventually led to the inclusion of skateboarding in the 2020 Olympic Games, has affected the organisational evolution of skateboarding over the last decade and has stressed issues of organisational legitimacy in this sport.
