Where We Are

The Friends of the Skate Park is the fundraising arm of the Skate Park Task Force, created by the PROS Commission October 2001. We are charged with raising funds for the completion of the newly designed and soon to be built first Skate Park in the City of Walnut Creek. Phase 1 includes 12,250 square feet of skating area, a passenger drop off zone on Heather Drive with an entry plaza, as well as the street elements: rails, steps, ledges, as well as the square bowl, raised peanut, volcano, crater and roller elements. The low bid contractor from pre-approved bidders was A. J. Vasconi of Concord.

Phase 2 is the 5 to 8 feet deep, amoeba bowl with 2,200 sq feet of skating area for the advanced skater, as well as the colored, stamped concrete and boulders. Phase 2 has not been awarded as of this time.

The Friends of the Skate Park is flying under the umbrella of the Walnut Creek Fountain for Youth Foundation, an established group devoted to the youth of our community which has been in existence for 14 years. The WCFFYF primary fundraising vehicles are the Best of Walnut Creek which has been hosted at City Hall in March and the annual golf tournament at Boundary Oak for the past 14 years.
