Lakewood Skatepark construction began in fall 2004 and the winning contractor had never built a skatepark before. Only one actual skatepark builder existed in Ohio at the time (Bluestone in Columbus who lost the bid). We required a test pad be poured and finished to demonstrate the contractors' skill. City Engineers John Kilgore and Bill Corrigan came out to inspect and they brought Vince Frantz from PSG to skate this tiny pad.

The Cleveland premier of Habitat's MOSAIC video took place The Agora in 2003.

We raised money for the Lakewood park and featured the premier of Ryan Poorman's Swiss Grid video as well. Junior & Matt Minch DJ'd and it was probably most attendees first trip to the Agora.

Our First Skate Camp was a fundraiser for Lakewood Skatepark. We worked the school to permit Harding Middle School parking lot (which was already a popular spot). The West Side Skate shop team and other skaters helped with a one day clinic building ramps, teaching and talking to parents about the need for a skatepark in Lakewood.

Donations from Schneiders Bike Shop, West Side, Village Board Shop, Ohio Surf & Skate & Speed Freaks skate shops.

The new Lakewood Skatepark expansion includes a MUCH needed shelter along the south side where everyone meets up. This was our main financial contribution to the new park from years of donations and fundraising.

Lakewood OGs Matt O'Reilly and Josh Moore have been skating the park since day one and stopped in Sunday to drop some shady tricks.

One of the first fundraisers for Lakewood Skatepark was a softball tournament at Lakewood Park.

You wont see adult softball in Lakewood Park fields any more but it was a blast when we did.

Can still see the old tennis courts where the skatepark now stands.

The Lakewood Skatepark project was initiated by Mayor Madeline Cain in October 2003.

The initial location was a bit north of the current site and the first designs were created by architects at Brandstetter-Carroll. The first public input meeting was in 2003 and held at Lakewood Park. Look close you might have been there!

Lakewood Skatepark originally opened in Spring 2005. We hoped phase 2 would have happened sooner....

We always knew we needed a bowl to complete the design. Many Mayors and many other skateparks and skate camps and skate competitions later - the Lakewood bowl and more were added along with some shade to boot!
