Evan Walker- Cincinnati Skatepark Project

Evan is currently heading up the effort to get the first ever proper public skatepark built in the City of Cincinnati. Despite its long history and impact on the National skate scene, Cincinnatians have never had a legit park to call their own. Evan is working hard to change that. The city is now on board with a plan to build on a location in Camp Washington in 2025, accepting final bids from qualified builders before moving to the design phase.

Together we talk about growing up in Orange County, being at the premiere of The End, meeting Jeremy Klein, skating Pulaski, Alien Workshop, the best skateparks in the region and country, and plans for Cincinnati skatepark projects in 2025 and beyond. Evan is a highly articulate, knowledgeable, and passionate dude who wanted to get something positive done for the community. Along with many others, he formed the Cincinnati Skatepark Project to help work with city officials, raise funding, help point the city towards the best skatepark builders in the world, create hype, and project a positive message to the community that this is long past due.

Please catch up with Evan and the rest of the Cincinnati Skatepark Project team at their pop up skate event happening this week from Thursday 10/17 through Sunday 10/20 in downtown Cincinnati at the amazing BLINK event.

Evan currently lives in the Clifton area with his wife and son.
