We were in our old hood last night to check out the new bike/skate park in West Oakland .  The brainchild of Adam Keaton, he has built this park from the ground up with his partner, Shane Sicho.  Truly a labor of love, they have funded pretty much everything out of their own pockets with help from Earth Source.

Adam says, “Extra hands are very much needed.  Our biggest expense is materials, specifically plywood.  We are constantly in need  of  3/4 and 1/2 in 4×8 ply and 2×6 studs.   Obviously cash donations are by far the most helpful (checks can be made out to BayAir).  Also, we need couch cushions and foam mattresses for the foam pit.  We can use full couches and chairs as well for the spectator area”.

Admission will be free for Oakland youth and $5 for adults and folks from other cities. They’re having an opening event this Saturday from 12-7pm , please come out and represent!  More info at their site: www.bayairpark.org
