STREET LEAGUE SKATEBOARDING commissioner and professional skater Rob Dyrdek announced today that the league will be donating and permanantly installing features from this weekend’s event @ the Sprint Center into the Penn Valley Skate Park, originally built by CA skateparks . This will be a rare opportunity for the Kansas City youth to skate and test their skills on the very same features the pros competed on. Dyrdek will also be donating $50,000 for design services and $35,000 for construction to finish the phase II addition / renovation of the park. Following completion of the new work, the skate park will officially become part of the Rob Dyrdek Foundation Safe Spot Skate Spot Program. This initiative marks the ninth park to receive assistance from the foundation. The partnership with CA skateparks on the design / build of these projects showcases the continued effort of both parties to give back to the skateboarding community and offer solutions for cities to see park projects to reality when the need is great.
