It seems like our city leaders and most adults hate skateboarders. We e trying to get a park built here, but where do we start?
Leadership and law enforcement often have misconceptions about skateboarding that not only make pursuing their sport of choice difficult for skaters, but it actually underscores the need for skateparks. Your city council sees these kids in a negative light. The only way to change their minds is to show them that these kids can be articulate, organized, and motivated. The very process of petitioning and appealing to your city council can do this – it’ll force them to listen to these kids in a formal council meeting, and address the issue of why the skaters have no place to ride. This requires motivation and work on the part of the skaters and adults like yourself who care about them, and in towns where the political climate is against skaters, it’s certainly not easy. But any successful public skatepark has to have broadbased community support, and if that support doesn’t exist, someone needs to rally residents to get behind it. That’ll change the political climate, that’ll make fundrai
