Pima County Parks has recently requested funding for a skateboard park program that would include a regional skatepark at Curtis Park, located at La Cholla Blvd near River Road. For this to become a reality the Pima County Board of Supervisors must hear from every person in Pima County that supports skateboarding, this includes you, your mom, dad, grandparents, and crazy uncle too!
Dear County Board of Supervisors,
My name is (Your Name) from (Your address) and I would like to express my support in having Pima County fund a regional skateboard park at Curtis Park in the 2008 Bond Program.
Thank you,
(Your Name)

Looking for a place to skate in Southern Arizona? Look no further than the Arivaca Skate Park!
Dreamed up by some enterprising residents of Arivaca, community members built the entire first phase of the Skate Park by hand. In fact, that first phase was funded completely through t-shirt sales.
Once Pima County got wind of the project, they were able to secure a $70,000 Community Development Block Grant for the park. This allowed construction to begin on phase two of the skate park, which hadn't been bugeted to start for several years.
Supervisor Bronson commends the residents of Arivaca on their big dreams as well as their commitment to making the community an even better place to live.
