There is a need for a centrally located, dedicated skatespot that caters to skaters of all abilities and styles. The city of Reno is lacking a modern, unified community skateboard area that is accessible to all disciplines where enthusiasts can gather, learn, and build together. This is why I propose transforming the largely unused and deteriorating Pickett Park tennis court into a permanent community D.I.Y. skateboarding area.

The Pickett Park tennis court, located just a few blocks away from downtown, is an untapped gem that could transform into a vibrant hub for skaters. Currently, the court remains un-utilized and is deteriorating quickly. Converting this space will bring more positive influence to the area.

Ideally, local skaters will have the opportunity to be involved in designing and building the park, making it a unique landmark that helps bring the skateboard community together. Projects like this have succeeded in numerous cities, and it is time Reno joins the ranks.

Signing this petition could help urge the parks & rec. and Reno City Council to take action on this initiative and potentially turn an underutilized space into something special.
