The Emerald Coast Chapter is working hard on many proposals for the oil disaster NRDA. One of the proposals includes building the first public skate park in Walton County. The park would provide needed alternative recreation and also serve as a lasting reminder of the importance of protecting our Gulf of Mexico. The project would be funded through multiple sources of matching grants, donations, and compensation from BP. This project also represents a re-birth of a movement initiated years ago by locals wanting a safe place for kids to play. Contact Surfrider if you would like to join (or re-join) the leadership of this effort.
Here is a link to the two page summary of the proposed Surfrider "Gulf Memorial Skate Park":
