Don't see why Issaquah can't have the same. I would argue that Skate parks are more heavily used than Basketball and Tennis courts. If you build the right park people of all ages can enjoy it. Set your sights beyond what Sammamish has, that park is way to small for a community that size.

Since the skate park is beside the Rainier Trail, many young people congregate at the skate park and on the trail. This discourages many people from using the beautiful trail.

Teens and tweens need and deserve a skatepark that they can feel safe and good about using.

But while I lived there, I went to the skate park every day. It's an amazing park, even though there were so many people not encouraging little kids to keep skating and teenagers that were scaring families away from possibly enjoying themselves. I've been skating for the past 5 and half years of my life, and I would love to come back to Issaquah and see a new skatepark. Hopefully it could be bigger, too.

I really cannot condone what goes on at the skate park. There are 14 year olds that I personally know (but do not associate with) that are very addicted to herion and verious drugs. That is not an exaggeration. It is the scum of Issaquah. all you see there is kids smoking cigarettes and sneaking off into the bushes to do some hard drugs and chase the high with marijuana. I have lost a few friends to drugs. The skate park is where they find dealers too supply their habbits. Its a dirty place and just a bad hang out spot.

The location as been a breeding ground for illegal activity with little or no surveillance. These activities range from hard drug use to multiple strong arm robberies. While these illegal activities happen at the skate park, it is important to note that in my 14 years of skating at the park these activities are largely committed by non-skaters, who loiter at the location BECAUSE it has poor surveillance. The ONLY real question we should ask, is why this area hasn't been cleaned up already, given its immediate proximity to 2 schools, the ISPD, the Municipal Court, and the community center. Cleaning up this area and creating a new park in a safe location is better for the students, citizens, and better for the skate community.

Just don't repeat mistakes made by North Bend, Lakemont, and Kirkland by creating an unskateable park. City planner parks are the bain of the skater's existence. Contact a quality contractor like Grindline for good pricing, skateability and construction.

The park should be a safe and friendly area for kids of all ages. They should be able to feel safe and use the park, and not ever have to worry about being around heavy drug activity while being outside in public in a PARK.

Issaquah is typically a recreational leader on the Eastside, but our skatepark is an embarrassment to the city.

Considering the money spent on other tourist type activities in the city to generate tourism and sales tax revenue, I think the skatepark would be a prudent investment to attract families to the area.
