EPSA repair projects
Since 2007, EPSA has rolled up its sleeves and made a few select safety-related repairs and enhancements to our concrete skateparks.
It’s been a great way to test a variety of products, best methods and share information with the City folks and other skatepark advocates.
Taking inventory
One of the very first things EPSA did was create a comprehensive inventory of City skateparks to create a baseline for money spent, issues faced and action plans – we offered solutions, not just complaints!
We did a follow up City report in 2010 and an initial County report in 2011 to help our local governments better understand safety and maintenance issues in skateparks.
