This guy David P knows absolutely nothing; Personally I know about 20-30 kids off the top of my head who would all benefit from a skatepark. I'm not a really strong skater but I and a lot of my friends would love a park put in East Providence, it's something we've talked about for years. It would save us the hassle of having to go to places downtown, or all the way to North Prov, we usually have to find rides and if we're with a lot of people there's not always room. A skatepark would provide us all with a local area that's easily accessible where we can skate in peace and not have to worry about traffic, cops, or being kicked out by angry people who claim we make "too much noise". All the kids, the ones I know at least, are respectable, good natured kids that are passionate about skating and just want somewhere to shred without interruption. There are so many parks and fields already where kids can play soccer, but how many skate parks are there? Hm...zero? Screw another empty lot not being utilized, we deserve a damn skatepark, we NEED a skatepark.
