Safe Skate Space

Roller skating is a unique form of recreation that brings together people of all ages and identities to celebrate movement and self-expression. Beyond that, roller skating is rooted in Black history, community, and anti-racism. We believe that rollerskating is a form of recreation that strengthens communities.

However, despite thousands of skaters in this city, let alone the South Bay, how do we not have a single dedicated outdoor roller skate space? Every other outdoor sport has a space of its own–why not roller skating?

As an city built on innovation and community, San Jose has the opportunity to build a first-of-its-kind free, public, and safe roller skate space to meet this recreational need.

SJ Roll Call is leading the initiative to make this #SafeSkateSpace happen. See our initial proposal deck below, and sign our petition to help the City see this is a priority.
