I've been to Suvilahti DIY several times on my trips to Finland and to me, just like to many other skateboarders and travellers in general, it became a symbol for the city of Helsinki. Suvilahti is more than just another skatepark, it's a landmark spot for skateboarding worldwide and "culturally" significant to myself and probably the skateboarding community as a whole. Help us preserve the culture, the years of constant work that went into it and let's keep it an open space for the generations to come!

I'm signing because places like this gives Helsinki personality and makes our culture more interesting and unique. This also interests tourists like if I think of all the over 30 places I've been there's always places like this among sights to see. Helsinki needs more of these if we want to attract more people to visit Finland and Helsinki once corona is away. Breaks my heart that they want to destroy something so unique just because it doesn't fit their plans. There is always a way without destroying the heart of Suvilahti.

I learned about Suvilahti through your video on Youtube: Do it together.

Thank you for an amazing job creating, maintaining and expanding this unique work of art. Suvilahti is definitely a cultural landmark of Helsinki (and Finland). Good luck! You have my full support.
Much love from Québec, Canada.

Keep on building!

DIY skateparks are perfect example and manifest of art, people creativity, who have the passion, because they do that (build skate park) literally by their own hands. Except of huge importance Suvilahti for skateboard culture, there is also big importance of this place for culture of Helsinki city. The only and best solution is saving Suvilahti DIY.

Ihmisten kaupungin tulisi pyrkiä kannustamaan asukkaidensa yritteliästä asennetta, tukemaan spontaanisti kehittyvää kaupunkikulttuuria ja osoittaa, että epäkaupalliselle toiminnalle voi olla paikka sen sydämessä. Suvilahden skeittipuisto on urbaanin kaupunkikulttuurin näyteikkuna niin Helsingissä kuin globaalisti. Samalla se on paikka, joka edistää kaupunkilaisten yhteisöllisyyttä, omaehtoista harrastustoimintaa ja kansanterveyttäkin (kunhan kaadutaan tarpeeksi pehmeästi).

Kaupunkikulttuuria on se, mitä kaupunkilaiset tekevät. Eivät virkamiehet, konsultit tai asuntosijoittajat. Tonttimaan arvo ymmärrettävästi nousee Redin ja Kalasataman rakentamisen myötä, mutta elävässä kaupungissa rahan ei pidä olla ainoa päätöksenteon mitta.

I’ve been lucky enough to stay in Helsinki for extended periods twice now. Once on an artists residency at HIAP in 2002 and again in 2016 joining my partner as she also completed a HIAP residency. On both occasions I made good friends in the skate community that I’m still in touch with and on the second occasion I was introduced to Suvilahti - what a spot! It was so rad hanging out at a place which so clearly had had so much effort put into it. Helsinki is one of my favourite cities precisely because of this sort of welcoming and open nature to it, people seem to be able to make stuff happen and that should be cherished not eradicated.
