Morganford Skategarden UPDATE!!!

Preliminary design for the first of many STL Skategardens!!

This one, The Peter Mathews Memorial Skategarden, will be located at 4415 Morganford! Stay tuned and we will continue to post our progress as well as meeting times. Thanks out to all who showed up for the last design meeting and Show Me Pools for hosting it!.

The goal of KHVT is to build small skategardens with all types of terrain through out the City so don't get upset if this is not your dream park. We are skaters and understand that you cannot please everybody with the type of money we have. We will however vow to continue to move forward this idea of  a network of skate-able terrain through out the City including everything a skater could ever wanna skate!!! With your support we can make this a reality!!! To enlist in KHVT's volunteer army contact us at kings.highway@yahoo.com

On another awesome note, we now have a copy of the executed lease with the City on the property for $5 a year! We still have to cover a hefty insurance bill, the up keep and the initial build out as well so get ready for some fundraisers and other opportunities to show your support like dedicating a tree in the park or buying an engraved brick for the entrance way.

As always you can make a donation through our pay pal account on the right hand side of our page!!!

Come out and help us kickflip ideas around!! We are almost there!!! All are welcome so come out and be heard!!!

Get Hyped!!

Sustainability – Industrial Strength Sustainable Design, Construction, and Operation for Industrial Facilities Anarchist Skate Punks Occupy St. Louis via Guerilla Urbanism Posted on May 10, 2012 Reid Small, owner of The Void Skate Shop, introduced me to the Kingshighway Skatepark last year and it has been on my mind ever since. Why? What does a 30,000 square foot DIY Skatepark in St. Louis have to do with sustainability and industry? Consider how the skatepark came to be. Located under a viaduct in an easily overlooked residual space created by our modern transportation infrastructure, it has been used as an illegal dump and a really great place to burn mattresses. Discovered while scouting for skate spots, a group of skaters set about the work of cleaning up the space and transforming it into an amenity. Work included graffiti removal using recycled paint from Habitat for Humanity and a maintenance/construction/housekeeping program requiring participation in exchange for the privilege of skating. City inspectors discovered the work, and with no complaints from area businesses, the allowed the skatepark to stay. They even provided a dumpster to support the effort. With the viaduct and skatepark scheduled for demolition in 2012, the skaters have gone on to form a 501c3 and are currently working with the city on future projects. The lessons here for sustainable site selection is clear: Be resourceful. Look for the potential of brownfields and of previously developed sites in metropolitan boundaries. Instead of writing off a site due to perceived constraints, reconsider these constraints as opportunities and advantages for a project. Develop a means to integrate the community of stakeholders, local government, non-profit organizations, and private enterprise . Go beyond just mitigating the effects and make it a project goal to improve environment by means of the construction or new building. Interested in seeing a complete photographic tour of the park? You will find them here.
