Skateboard parks are a place for people to pursue their love. Building ramps, learning tricks, or connecting with friends; parks provide what we need.

Skateboarders need to keep their parks, if community doesent support them they will be forced to an other place, skaters allways progress.

This is clearly something made of pure passion and dedication. it was made by the people, for the people. It benefits the community there in more ways than one and serves a great purpose, letting skaters come together in a kind of sanctuary where everyone is accepted and encouraged. The youth need more areas like this that are unstructured, where they can learn to be themselves and grow as a person. Skateboarding and skatepark communities can teach a lot of lessons to a young developing mind. It instills dedication and unmatched determination. It teaches you to get back up and try again, never give up. Never have I been to a place where people from all walks of life can find common grounds and enjoy their time together without hating for any religious beliefs or political views. Better yet, a facility like this keeps them off the streets which I'm sure has to be annoying to certain business owners and people in public places that don't want to be around skateboarding and don't want their stuff vandalized. It gives them a safe contained place to enjoy their lives with no outside interference and they are not harming anyone except maybe themselves occasionally. Let them choose skateboarding over a life of crime and violence like so many of the youth in less fortunate areas. Why would the city want to remove such a great benefit to their community that the community worked very hard to sustain?

This place is a pure outcome of citizens buiding a community first and putting their own resources and labour together to create such a unique space, serving to everyone willing to participate, covering needs for valuable way to spend time actively and being a strong point of interest even towards far outside of the city and country. There should be ways to acknowledge what was put into building this space and support it to last.

We need these independent skateparks built by people who skate and do it for the pure joy of skating. These structures are a very important part of the city and it's culture as they are open for everyone and encourage people to free outdoor activities. Suvilahti and it's culturally concentrated surroundings is the best place for the skatepark and it should not be destroyed or relocated as it has already established it's place by the community.

Suvilahti on uniikki kulttuurikohde Helsingissä. Kaunis urbaani miljöö tarjoaa skeittaamisen harrastajille yhteisen avoimen tilan kokoonuta harrastuksen parissa täysin eri tavalla kuin missään muualla. Suvilahti on äärimmäisen arvokas turvasatama sen kävijöille.

Young people need alternative hobbies to drug and alcohol usage and skateboarding is one that provides life long lessons about fitness and the benefits of communal life.

You don’t destroy soccerfields to built something because soccer is a sport.
Accept that skateboarding is not just a sport but also art, lifestyle and lifecontent. The people spend so much time to build the diyspot.
