Save San Diego's Skateworld Roller Rink
Skateworld, the last remaining roller rink in the City of San Diego, is in danger of losing its lease. The San Diego Redevelopment Agency has an exclusive negotiation agreement with a private development company (MRW) for the property on which Skateworld is located. This company has indicated that they plan to redevelop the property and the future of Skateworld is uncertain.
Skateworld has been an outstanding member of the Linda Vista community for nearly 35 years. This establishment attracts visitors from all over San Diego County and has made many positive contributions to the public. Skateworld hosts fundraisers for various causes, provides family-friendly activities, and employs many who would not find jobs elsewhere, such as teens with no previous work history. Businesses adjacent to the rink are also supported by Skateworld's patrons. Many San Diegans, who remember skating there as children, now take their own families to Skateworld. Closing this rink would be a devastating loss for all of San Diego County and the surrounding areas.
Please join all of us who love Skateworld by voicing your support of the rink to the San Diego City Council. By signing this petition you are letting the council members know that you want to see Skateworld remain where it is and continue to be part of the Linda Vista community! Everyone is eligible to sign - there's no age limit! Be sure to visit: FriendsOfSkateworld.com for the latest news & updates! Thanks for your support! We the undersigned, encourage the San Diego City Council to let Skateworld, the City of San Diego's last remaining roller rink, continue in operation at its current location in the San Diego community of Linda Vista.
We want to let 6th District Council Member, Donna Frye, know that we do not want Skateworld to close. Skateworld provides family-friendly activities to its patrons. Closing this rink would be a devastating loss for all of San Diego County and the surrounding areas.
Thank you for taking the time to read our petition.
