They attract both local and visiting skateboarders, leading to increased patronage of nearby businesses stimulating the local economy. ​

Support for Skate Raleigh

“Skateboarders have a hard time finding a place to do their sport, and so they tend to go places where they aren’t necessarily welcome. This (skatepark) provides that opportunity to give them a safe place to practice where they can feel at home with their buddies—and they and their parents know that they’re going to be OK, and they’re going to be safe.”
— Sig Hutchinson, Wake County Commissioner
