Seven years ago my husband and I had our wedding reception at the DoS. And we didn’t use the park to hold a candlelight dinner with tablecloths and catered food, we used that space to SKATE. Bhangra dj, beer and bourbon, and a sandwich bar–it was the greatest wedding reception in the history of time. Now we’ve got a 4 year-old kid who is just getting into skateboarding and we are sad as hell to see the Dept. go. 9 months of rain a year and no indoor park? Rise again, DoS. We need you.

Yeah it sucks that the indoor park that is the glue holding together 500 other outdour parks closed… let’s remember the bad times…. drove from over 100 miles away and couldn’t get half my friends in because they didn’t have parents to sign waiver forms… when we did get waivers signed and paid an arm and a leg to get in, we must have been the only ones that had to pay because all the locals rode free… when they made us where helmets, not one local had to. Wow, guess the world is round! Can’t wait to see the dos locals have to wear helmets and pay at the next indoor park. Oh yeah, make sure mommy signs and notorizes your permission slip.. haha. Truly sad but some other option will present itself soon.

I am currently on track to becoming a millionaire. If a donation of say, $100,000 was offered, could we see the Department, make a return?

My son and I are just getting into skateboarding.
I was hoping to join the DOS and take some lessons, since I suck and need to learn safer techniques before I break a hip.
So, of course you are closing.
Any thoughts of opening someplace else? There is a lot of empty retail out there.
Is there anything I can do to help?
I’m a middle aged architect and could offer some free building advice, maybe even design and documentation help.
Let me know.
Sorry I missed the closer…
