Palm Desert City Council:
Upon hearing Chad Rivera was seeking support of upgrading the local skateboard park, I went by to see our skateboard
park.
My parents raised 5 children in Palm Desert—we all went to elementary—junior high in the city of Palm Desert (we
didn't have a high school at that time). Skateboarding has always been a great outlet for our children and I am in
support of upgrading and giving some attention to the local skateboard parks.

RE: PALM DESERT SKATE PARK
To Whom it may concern:
We understand that there may me a possibility of UPGRADING your Palm Desert Skate park. That is
cxciting news for the Skateboarding community. We sponsor different events around the Southern
California area, this expansion would be a great asset for our Eastern area. This Upgrading could also be a
great tourist pull for passing though skaters that is working the circuit. If you can pull in some of the Pro's
as they are passing though the area, this alone could promote your park. With the Upgrade of the Skate
park—it would be upgraded in the So.Ca Skate park Guide, which would also be an interest pull far the
Pro's to come check out.
Please save your PARK from BAD influence and encourage the GOOD influence.
Best Regards,
Lou Ann Hinrichs

Dear City Council Members, I
IAs business awners af SK8 ASYLUM, we are �ariting in support af the current skatepark
prajeet for Desert V+Tak�e. VSTe recentl� built and opened an indoor �kateboard park here in
Ariaana, and in the g months since our grand apening, we have �perienced an over
abundance of loyalty and support from the skateboarding communit�, not only from local
residents, but out of town visitors as well.
C�ur park has become an attraction for many families on vacatian, as �rrell as parents �rho
travel ta Arizana on business and seek entertainment optians for their children. We regularl�
receive messages fram tourists informing us �f upcoming trips to Arizona and inquiring
about aur hours of operation, events taking place, and even skateboard camps their children
can attend. Jake Marlow's family reaently visited Ari�ona v�rhile on Holiday from England.
The�r specifically sought out skatepaa,ks in this area, and finding SK8 AS�LUIVI v,ras the
highlight of Jake's trip —he spent � str-�aight days ska�ing �ith us. V�e continue to keep in
toueh with Jake and his family, and are awaiting their return visit next June. As parents of a
�o-y�ar old bay who is extremely passionate about skateboarding, �e make it a point to
include visits to skateparks, both indoor and outdoor, in all of our travel plans. Carneron's
skateboard accompanies us an every �ip. Just as avid golfers seek out oaurses upan visiting
other cities or even planning an entire�acation araund golf, skateboarder� and families with
ehildren v�ho skate do the same.
Des�rt V�Take is a fantastic opportunity ta bring in a large number of additional taurists to the
Palm Desert area. VSTe truly belie�re the "If You Build It, They �rVill Come" mantra; our
exp�ience with SK8 AS�LUIVI has upheld this beli�f. V�Te urge you to appra�e and move
forward on the decision to build the sk�atepark for Desert�Vake. This decision will prove to be
a most positi�e addition to your communit�, as well as a top Tourist Attraction. V+le are
already looking for�rard to a trip to experienee it for ourselves!
Sinoerely,
IBryan &Alicia Peter�on
