for the
"Skate Garden"The 5th street conceptual project
Our conceptual design is a reflection of the large amount of community input we have gathered since we founded this project. Skaters of every type have told us they would all like to see transition and street features. The community has also spoken and asked that this not only be a skate park but a social gathering place. An approachable and inviting place for anyone of any age. Our concept brings a skatepark and a community garden together as one public space. Wedged in between the lettuce and ledges there is a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your surroundings. The unique public space will help fosters multi-generational interaction, learning and exercise in the heart of Carpinteria. Please support our cause and pledge your support!
