  • What types of improvements would you like to see made to the existing skatepark?

    Shoreview skate Park is a very special, iconic skate park for the Bay Area skateboarding community a paragraph when it was first built. It set a new president for how skate parks should be built: some thing that feels open, inviting, inclusive, and for what majority of skateboarders are (Street Skaters, not skate park skaters)

    Unfortunately, when the park was built, Whiting was left out due to noise concerns even though the basketball court turned out to be much louder than the skateboarding area.

    Another unfortunate thing about the Chavez Skate Park is the size, its footprint is significantly smaller than the nearby amenities, such as the baseball field, basketball, courts, and tennis court.

    in a dream world, we would get to expand into the tennis court since the tennis court is almost inactive

    It feels only right for us to be able to move into that space given the fact that the skateboarding community was promised a third skate park over 20 years ago.

    I do realize that there is a recent trend with Pickleball, and that now , they might have a chance to take care of the tennis court, but we have asked in the past to be able to expand of the tennis court or before pickle ball was ever a thing.

    Another option would be to expand to the grass area in front of the basketball, courts, it would be a rather sustainable approach since grass is not the most sustainable thing given water restrictions.

    We also need lighting for nighttime skateboarding desperately

    People still skate there at night, and it’s not as safe as if it could be if there was proper lighting.

    Lastly, the ground, it definitely needs to be redone. It’s very rough, uneven, and has huge cracks.

  • Are there any new features you would you like to see added to the existing skatepark?
    If an expansion as possible, more flat, ground area, and more ledges
  • If you are a community member who doesn't plan on using the skatepark, are there any comments or thoughts that you would like to share?
    No response.

Speak Up San Mateo! is not a certified voting system or ballot box. As with any public comment process, participation in Speak Up San Mateo! is voluntary. The responses in this record are not necessarily representative of the whole population, nor do they reflect the opinions of any government agency or elected officials.

What are my options to participate?

Speak Up San Mateo! has two participation channels:

  • The Registered Channel: Sign in before or just after you submit your response. Either way, Community Feedback will show your response on this website.
  • The Unregistered Channel: Don't sign in and remain anonymous. Community Feedback will just share your response with San Mateo staff.

Note: The first time you sign in, you'll need to register (establish an account on Speak Up San Mateo!). Registration is free.

Why do I need to sign in to show my response on this website?

The City of San Mateo has contracted with Community Feedback to monitor responses shown on this website.

  • To prevent any single user from dominating the forum, the City of San Mateo restricts the number of responses any one user can post on selected topics. Registration helps Community Feedback enforce this restriction.
  • Users, staff and government leaders often want to know the neighborhood from which a response is posted. Community Feedback uses registration to show the neighborhood next to each response (not the address).
  • If a user posts a response that does not meet the City of San Mateo guidelines for civility, Community Feedback uses the user's email address to invite the user to resolve the issue.
I'm concerned about privacy. Who will get my contact information and what will they use it for?

Community Feedback will get your contact information. The company is under contract with the City of San Mateo to hold it in strict confidence per their privacy policy.

What other benefits do I get from signing in?
  • Since you'll see your own response on Speak Up San Mateo!, you'll be able to confirm that your response was posted as you intended.
  • You'll be able to change and/or delete your response as long as the topic is open.
I'm still very concerned about privacy. Is there a way for me to submit a response without registering?

Yes. Sign out, then set your privacy preference to be "No - just show it without my name to staff". You won't need to register.

What prevents an unregistered user from submitting multiple anonymous responses?

While no authentication procedure can perfectly detect every fraudulent registration, Community Feedback is able to secure the registered channel against systematic fraud: cases where users submit enough statements with fraudulent registrations to sway the overall interpretation of the feedback.

Community Feedback is unable to secure the unregistered channel against systematic fraud, because unregistered users are anonymous.

Neither the registered nor the unregistered channel represent a certified voting system or ballot box - and that caveat is footnoted on every page of feedback. Instead, both are additional channels for feedback to government.

Why are there two participation channels?

Users can participate on the registered channel (by signing in) or on the unregistered channel (by remaining anonymous). The City of San Mateo offers both channels in order to broaden participation and maximize decision makers' insights.

The registered channel enables users to assure decision makers that their feedback comes from a real person in a specific neighborhood. It also enables users to participate in a public discussion on the website, as well as manage their own response after posting it.

The unregistered channel is for users who want to provide quick feedback without registering, and/or whose privacy concerns would prevent them from participating if required to register. Because many users with valuable insights will only share them anonymously, this channel gives decision makers the option to consider those insights in their deliberations.

What is OpenGov?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company whose mission is to broaden civic engagement and build public trust in government. The City of San Mateo has contracted with OpenGov to administer Speak Up San Mateo!.
