In the minidoka and cassia area there is only 2 skateparks, the skatepark in minidoka is the Rupert skatepark which is very small and only has a few obstacles, the obstacles aren’t small enough for beginner skaters, bmx, scooters etc. The skatepark in cassia only has a bowl and rail and gets crammed with a lot of kids. We have not had a new skatepark in 15 years. We also have not had anything done to our skateparks to fix them up and keep them maintained.

           I think we should add a skatepark in heyburn Idaho that is both beginner friendly and experienced friendly. Most kids on hot summer days go out and ride there skateboards etc. on the road because we don’t have any good skateparks.  
         
            If kids don’t have fun in there yard or the road they will go inside instead and we don’t want the community to stay inside all day, we want the community to find things in common and have places to make friends. The community needs something for the kids other than movies and video games. 

             A lot of kids make friends at the skatepark, In fact I made most of my friends at the skatepark.  and some kids could even be successful with there sport and go pro if we had a nice skatepark. But it’s hard to get good with very little to learn with.

if there’s any company’s out there that could pitch in the materials needed that would be so appreciated.  The community deserves something new for the children.

I know how much skateparks cost to build and I know how much time it takes but I know that the community can do it. I know that the community can give the children of the mini-cassia area a place to learn new things and try new things and make amazing friends. A skatepark would be a great addition to our community for our children and our and anyone who visits our amazing community. Thank you!
