This guys gotta be kidding me. we've been wanting a skate park in east providence since I was a kid. It was pretty much a dream to us. But that never happened and we were forced to go to places like silver lake and north providence. And from first hand experience from consistently going to said parks you'd know it's the skaters that take care of the park. We do park clean ups consistently at neautakonutcut park ,everybody helps anyone when ever they need it and ive all around built relationships with some of the greatest people I'll ever know. North providence wasn't destroyed by skaters. There's bad eggs everywhere . If skaters were there while anything was being destroyed it would of been put to a stop instantly. We take great pride in what we do and would not purposely destroy things for others to get hurt upon simply because we wouldn't want it for ourselves. All it shows is you have no faith in the people of this city at all. Not even enough to give them the chance, the benefit of the doubt. All you care about is making what you have better instead of being content and giving the kids a place to go the cops will stop kicking them out of. So when officers are asked the question of then were can we skate they can finally gladly say the skate park down the st .Not take a bus to Kennedy plaza chance putting yourself in harm take another bus to another city since it's illegal to skate there to. just to finally be able to skate in peace.be happy you've got your fields to practice on now because we have nothing and deserve something just as much as the next guy.
