The city has approved a plan to cover the northwest corner of Tompkins Sq park with synthetic turf.  This plan was approved without support from the community.  The area of the park they would be renovating has a historical and sacred importance to skateboarders and other community members who would be excluded from the new facility.  Hopefully this petition will reflect the interests of the people who use the park the most! Lets make it clear: we don't want our corner of the park altered!
