Skaters for Portland Skateparks supports the passage of Ballot Measure 26-260.

In the quarter century that Skaters for Portland Skateparks has been pushing for equitable skate terrain, funding has always been the #1 challenge we face. Portland Parks & Recreation developed a plan of 19 skateparks in 2005: a project that SPS contributed to, and 20 years later we're roughly halfway to that goal.

If Ballot Measure 26-260 fails, the Parks budget will roughly be cut in half: a historically underfunded bureau could suffer serious consequences. The maintenance backlog that Portland Parks is dealing with is already significant, and its in society's best interest for this levy to pass.

Vote yes on 26-260 this November.
