Skateboarding has been a part of my life since I was 6 years old. It has had an incredibly positive influence on my life and directly gave me opportunities that made me a better person. 

I want to share this with my community. My community is Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Greenvale, Glen Cove, Locust Valley, and the surrounding area. 

Currently Oyster Bay only has 1 skatepark and it is located in Bethpage which is a 35-minute drive away. Not conveniently accessible by any means, especially for someone with no car.

My goal is to build at the very least a space that is approved for skateboarding for my community. The ideal location is Tappen Beach which is controlled by the town of Oyster Bay.

Let's come together as a community and let our representatives know that we want a skatepark. 

Below is some information that shows how beneficial skateboarding can be for our youth.

I would love to share personally how skateboarding has made me the person I am today.
