I wrote a long drawn out comment that didn't save, but in short, I know a lot of kids who would benefit greatly from this skatepark. We wouldn't have to travel so far just to skate in peace, and sometimes we have more people than cars, this would be a great local area that's easily accessible for us to skate. Screw having another empty soccer field that won't be utilized we deserve and need a skatepark. Most of the kids I know that skate are good natured, respectable kids who are passionate about what they do and are just looking for somewhere to skate uninterrupted; Hell, anywhere could be a drug den, it doesn't mean they're just gonna start taking away places where drugs are sold. Just because there are a few idiots skulking around shouldn't mean that the rest of us won't get the park we've been talking about for years.
