Message from Blair:
This will be the first meeting to get the ball rolling for a skatepark in Newport. I dont wanna be too old to skate it by the time it happens so can everybody please, show face! And lets make it happen!
Council is on board, there is a planned budget of 100 grand which could grow if investment is found.
There is two sites they are lookin to put it at. The Crook (RIP the Bowl) or Kinbrae.
Any ideas, info, help, contacts, etc. Please post here.
BOWL! no plazza or street course or any o that! BOWL
Yep, something like the Gullane bowl would be rad!

Dear Newport Locals,
i strongly recommend adding a reconstruction of the ‘Carlsbad Gap’. It was once a legendary skate spot in a California high school but it was demolished. For the generation that missed out on this wonderful opportunity to get better at skateboarding, add this to your new Newport Skatepark. Here is a link below to get an idea on how to build it.
