Rochester (and surrounding) people we need your help. We need your voice!!� If you care about the future of our city we should nurture our youngest members- our kids and teens. In an ideal scenario we want them to identify with our city and feel a belonging. Our kids need a place to grow...especially older kids lacking a place to meet and be active. Especially in times where its so much easier to just sit on your device at home. We need to create opportunities for them where they feel they belong and are proud of our city - even if you not a Skateboarder- you may want to still meet your friends and watch them do tricks. Most cities around us offer Skateparks and many families driving our kids to these communities and spend money there. That needs to change. If other cities can do it we can!
