As most of you know the City of Sikeston has approved the skatepark to be put at the Sikeston Sports Complex. We are moving forward very quickly and I am asking you to please do your part in our community and help these young skaters to get off of our streets, business parking lots and sidewalks.

The total package for our skatepark is $45,777.13, we are very happy to annouce that we have raised over $23,000.00 and we are not stopping. Sikeston Skatepark Committee is committed in seeing that this park is the most family oriented park in Southeast Missouri.

Once the money is raised, we are not going anywhere we will continue to raise money, do fundraiser events and keep improving the park. My dream is not only to have the park, but have it to where the parents can come with their other children and sit on nice benches, in the shade to watch their skater skate. Hold big events, skate competitions and more.

We would like to thank you for your interest in our skatepark and ask for your support. We appreicate all forms of donations, whether it is money, products, services or time. I challange you to do your part.

For more information please feel free to contact me at 573-380-4189 or email sikestonskate@yahoo.com and please visit our website at www.sikestonskatepark.com

Thank You,

Cindy Taylor
