DUBUQUEOUTDOOASKATEPARKOVERVIEW
T e - • •ark , I imme. is ely fill t - - • o . TI --•esigned place to ride for skate-
boarders, BMX bikers, scooters and rollerbladers in the community and regionally. The approx-
imately 20,000 square foot park, about the size of 3 high school basketball courts, will have
a unique design which provides elements for users of all skill levels, and gives spectators the
opportunity to view the activity in a comfortable park setting within Flora Park.
This new skatepark will provide a place for users to learn skate skills, make new friends, express
their creativity and individuality, learn self-respect and respect for others, and stay healthy
through physical exercise in a safe, low -maintenance, concrete skatepark. The new skatepark
also supports Imagine Dubuque's emerging themes of more activities for teens and families,
more recreational opportunities, and helping to attract and retain young professionals.
This skatepark will create a top-quality regional attraction that will draw new or recurring
visitors, contribute to the health and physical well-being of the community, and provide
positive youth development in a safe, secure environment. The park may also be part of
other events that build community such as concerts, art shows, murals or art installations, skate
lessons, yoga or fitness classes, local or regional skate exhibitions or competitions, bike rodeos,
health fairs or related events.
This public project is supported by a partnership with Kids in Dubuque Skate (KIDS), a grassroots
community group committed to helping the city build a new skatepark by representing local
youth and adults who support action sports. This group has been part of the planning process
since its inception by the city and has engaged dozens of youth and adults in the process of
planning, research, development, public input sessions, fundraising and service. We need the
support of generous citizens, businesses and foundations to help us all reach this goal for our
community and show the kids a positive outcome from their hard work and perseverance.

"Kids are going to be coming here (to Dubuque) now. This is going to be the best park in the
region. Not only because it's brand new, but because we've done our due diligence, we've
put in the leg work, we've been coming to meetings for years. There have been people in-
vested in this project for so long now that they've taken the steps to make sure this is going
to be a world-class facility."

WHY D0 WE NEED A NEW SKATEPARK?
1
Per City of Dubuque Skate Park Improvements Capital Improvement Program (budget for
FY2014-15):
Justification " The current skate parks at McAleece (opened in 2000) and Comiskey (opened in
2005) do not serve the increasing needs and changing desires of skateboarders"
• Age of current skate facilities very dated and skatepark construction has changed since then
• Lack of water and restrooms at current skatepark
• More centralized city location in easy -to -find park also on a bus line or within walking distance
of many schools and neighborhoods
• Positive, healthy activities for our youth and families needed
• Serve local skaters as well as draw others to our community as destination
• Popularity of skateboarding and action sports, for example
• August 2016, unanimous vote by International Olympic Committee to include ate -
boarding in Summer2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo
• X -Games, the Dew Tour, and Street League skate competitions, and shows li al itro
Circus on TV, have inspired youth and adults around the globe to try skating adild other
action sports
THE BENEFITS OF A NEW SKATEPARK
"I've lived in Dubuque most of
my life and often resorted to
getting creative with
obstacles throughout the
city as opposed to the long
drive to McAleece. It
would be great to have a
centrally -located
skatepark in
Dubuque."
-Eric Copeland
Owner
Dubuque Paint
& Suppy

WHY FLORA PARK?
/ 7/4w
PROPOSED LOCATION IN FLORA PARK
I 111
vqi
Through a series of site visits by a skateboard consultant; 5 public input meetings
in 2015-2016 attended by about 25-60 people each at Five Flags, Hempstead High
School, Comiskey Park, and Irving Elementary School; paper and online surveys; a site
was selected on the criteria of safety, access, park activity, amenities, feasibility, site
conditions, topography and existing locations. Flora Park was deemed the best location
for skateable square footage and long-term viability and usage.

place. Our park was not good in itself,
but the people that were there, the vibe,
the atmosphere, there were no politics or
anything; it was just all people of different
age, race, religion, gender, everything, just
everyone getting along and supporting each
other."

you view the world, it changes the way that you make relation-
ships, it changes the way you can express yourself You can be
creative, you can do different tricks, you can .skate..."
"Skateboarding teaches resilience. You have to work at skate-

knocked down, you have to deal with the challenges and the
environment you are skating."

you've succeeded."
