We recently built a small skateboard ramp at Lopez Urban Farm & are hoping to expand it. It has been a huge draw for people of all ages from all areas of Pomona with an average of 10-20 residents using it daily. Many are also spending time to learn about agriculture & using other amenities during their visits to skate. We have also hosted multiple Free Events with skating, live music & giveaways & are going to run Free Skate Lessons. Expansion of the ramp is key to growth in events & programs. * What is the benefit to the City of Pomona? (An expenditure of public funds must be for primary benefit of the public agency that is making the expenditure)
Expanding the skate area at Lopez Urban Farm will benefit the City & most importantly the residents by giving them a larger safe space to skate in a green environment. It will allow us to do bigger Free events and host Free Skate Lessons and Camps for the youth of Pomona. Currently there is no other public half pipe in Pomona & this space provides a unique experience that brings skate, agriculture, art & music together in one space for all residents to enjoy.
