Skatebowl

Skateboarders need safe places to recreate.

Skateparks, if designed and constructed correctly, are fiscally conservative and require very little maintenance.

Skateboarding has thousands of participants nationally and it’s a multi-million dollar industry.

Skateboarders represent a vital part of an urban community.

With national health issues looming for today’s youth, it’s time to offer a greater number of healthy, athletic choices.

The cost to participate is accessible to everyone, and skating in a park is much safer than skating in the streets.

In the future there are going to be many legitimate places to skate in the city. The time to embark on that positive future is now.

A skatepark is a place where skateboarders and other people who might not cross paths in the street can come together.

Skateparks can displace other less desirable activities in an area.

Skateboarding is “cool” and enhances the community’s reputation, and they can draw skateboarders away from less appropriate areas.

Young and old people use skateparks. They help support vibrant, healthy communities, just like many other athletic facilities.

Skateboarding is a popular spectator sport, and a skatepark can be a place to go after school.Neighborhood skateparks allow younger skaters to recreate safely close to home.
