"Skateboarding Saved My Life" and Lanre Can Save Yours...

Marsh Street Skate Park
Elysian Valley
YOUTH HAVE A DREAM- Now That's RAD!

Joel Jimenez recently got promoted to full-time status as the Marsh Skate Park Supervisor. Joel, who has lived in the neighborhood his whole life, has been looking forward to the opening of the skate park which was much needed for the kids in this area. Ever since it’s grand opening in September 2007, Joel has been skating there daily and later hired to supervise the park.

"Skateboarding Saved My Life!"

Joel feels incredibly privileged to be doing what he loves, and has been a great mentor with the kids who skate there. Together, they are working on fundraiser ideas in order to install additional equipment to further improve the skate park.
