Why this petition matters

Started by Shamise Poston

Let’s Change the Narrative.

There aren’t many things of value in the Rockaways, people tend to pinpoint the bad, even though crime has decreased 74.6% since the 1990’s. So, let’s give people something good to talk about by bringing some entertainment to the Rockaways. Something that will provide everyday fun for the everyday person in more convenient location. There will be something for everyone to do. Imagine the jobs it will provide, and the philanthropic actions it will take to give back to the community, our community.

Unfortunately, anything of entertainment is a minimum of 45 minutes away from most neighborhoods in the Rockaways. It doesn’t make it impossible to have a good a time just a little harder.  What if your child came home with a good report card and you wanted to celebrate, or if you were having a bad day and just wanted to relax? Wouldn’t it be easier to travel 15 minutes instead of 45?

The entertainment we are talking about has the potential to be a staple in the community like Rockaway Playland and the Rockaway Beaches. When open, they both brought more than one million people to the Rockaways per year. The only difference is we will be open all year round.
