NEWS ALERT: Mayor Isko to Rebuild Manila Skate Park
As part of his vision to make Manila a safe and nurturing hub for the youth, Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso has announced that his administration will spearhead the redevelopment and revival of the Manila Skate Park, a long-awaited project for the city’s youth and skateboarding community.
Local skaters have long called for the reopening of a dedicated skate park following the demolition of the Canonigo Sports Complex—formerly known as the Manila Skate Park—along Quirino Avenue Extension in Paco. Aware of this, Mayor Isko raised the idea of rebuilding the skate park to Manila 5th District Representative Irwin Tieng during a meeting last Saturday, after which Representative Tieng pledged his support for the project.
"'Yung mga atabs kung saan-saan nag-iiskate. Baka puwede natin ibalik ‘yung skate park kasi kawawa naman," the mayor said.
Mayor Isko further emphasized that the redevelopment aims to provide young skaters with a safe and productive venue for their daily activities. Additionally, it is part of the city’s broader effort to invest in youth and sports development, promoting active lifestyles, creativity, and camaraderie within the community.
The announcement was made on Monday, September 1, during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Manila Sacramento Library and Multi-Purpose Building held on Zamora Street, Paco.
