Saving Sheldon Skatepark Sheldon Skate Park was opened on June 5, 2014 and was the largest in the Southeast Valley. Two years later it was closed by Nury Martinez due to the amount of damages and vandalism done to the park. The community complained about the graffiti and disregard of park safety daily. Loads of sand was dumped on the park because of the treatment the park was given. On March 11 the council and community held a grand re-opening of Sheldon Skate Park. Over a hundred skaters and a few pro-skaters joined the Council of Los Angeles and Congressman Tony Cardenas, who helped build the park. Skaters in the community and councilwoman, Nury Martinez made a partnership and developed a set of 12 rules for the park. The help of the community invested to repair the damages and ensures the care and safety of the park. With the twelve codes of conduct the city can accomplish of keeping the park. In Nury Martinez’s “Get it Done”, she says, “When we put in effort as a community, we develop a bit of a “buy-in” to make the park something we have a vested interest in. I have a lot of faith that this new partnership with park users will keep the park clean.” Sheldon Skate Plaza is now open to for the community and the public to enjoy. http://www.nury-martinez.com/grand_re_opening_ of_sheldon_skate_park 3
