Light Up Ojai Skatepark
Donation protected
The Ojai community has worked together for over 16 years now to provide the youth and adults with a skatepark.
Ojai’s permanent concrete skatepark has been around for 5 years providing the skate community with countless hours of fun. Building a permanent concrete skatepark was costly but with help and generosity from the community through non-stop fundraising, silent auctions, and donations we were able to raise 360,000 dollars in 6 months to build the skatepark in 2010.
The addition of lights to the skatepark was an idea since day one of planning, but was meet with opposition. The skate community of Ojai has been going through heaps of effort to get the city to approve our lighting plan and it was approved by everyone; the city council, school board, planning commission & parks & recreation.
It's now time to finally get the lights. We have received approval from all overseeing parties, now we just need the funds to complete the project. Please help us by donating towards the lights.
The lights will be state of the art LED, downward facing lights that last for 10 years and cost an estimated $250.00 per year to run. They are night sky friendly and they will be the best lighting system in all of the recreational facilities in Ojai. They don't go past the skate park and light the bowl to the flat spots perfectly to create a safe place to skate from dawn to 10 pm. each night, 365 days a year. Just like all the other recreational facilities in Ojai.
Please help us make this happen. Every single donation will be given to the City of Ojai to pay for the lights.
Thank you!
