Community is rallying around the creation of a skatepark at westmoreland park, get involved!
The most common request to Skateparks for Dallas since our founding in 2017 has been for a skatepark to be built in Oak Cliff, so we were very excited to be approached by District 1 City Council Member Chad West and Park Board Representative JR Huerta regarding the creation of a skatepark in the district.
While our Oak Cliff elected representatives provided the spark, the community was truly ignited by the possibly. In no time, an in-person design input session was organized in partnership with New Line Skateparks that overflowed with enthusiasm at the Martin Weiss Recreation Center. After this exciting event, local media including the Oak Cliff Advocate and Dallas Morning News wrote stories in support of the park.
