WHAT: Carlsbad Village Skate Park and Museum Meeting
WHEN: Tues. January 26th at 10am
WHERE: 2579 State Street, Carlsbad (MAP)
WHY: It’s better late than never

The Carlsbad Village and surrounding areas have always been a destination for local, and world wide, skateboarders. Skateboarding videos have rolled montages of local obstacles including each Carlsbad school, the Bars and numerous residential gaps and ledges.

During the late 90s, the village became overrun by kids passionate about skating, but without the appropriate facilities to practice their skills. The streets became an obvious substitute. The clack of urethane wheels could be heard at all business fronts and a waxed curb was as familiar as a waxed surfboard.

To thwart the increasingly popular counter culture sport and sub culture lifestyle that was rapidly growing in our local streets, the Carlsbad council designated the village streets as illegal to skate in. Tickets were issued and the local skate industry businesses closed (XYZ and Carlsbad Board Supply).

The village streets again became sleepy and the local youth were left to risk fines or drop their early passion and form of recreation.

Why wasn’t there a skatepark built in the village vicinity to accommodate the local youth’s passion and chosen form of recreation?

The sun stretches low as a crisp Christmas morning in the Carlsbad village invites families and friends. Children bundled up in fuzzy sweaters trample down the shady sidewalks and parents sip their first cup. City workers rake leaves and pick up debris as an observant child stares into a tree. A crafted ornament in purples and pink sways in the morning breeze. The child is lifted into the branches where he plucks his observation.
