This petition is for lights to be installed at Burrus Old Mill Skate Park, to enable skateboarding in the early night hours, to entice exercise for those who work evenings, and want to skate but have nowhere to go because it’s too dark. 

This will benefit local business around, (sonic, shell gas station, etc) by providing late night purchases in bulk by tired, excited skateboarders trying to better themselves. The community would benefit by bringing more light to Burrus Old Mill Park, and brining more tourism to the park and make it more noticeable in the nighttime hours. 

As a skateboarder in Blue Springs, I love the 2 skateparks we have. But with Burrus Old Mill Park being the newest addition, it would really be tied together with the installation of over-watching lights, to illuminate the skate park and surrounding amenities. 

I really do hope you’re in the same boat I am when I say it’s time for this to happen. As a skateboarding community, we would love for this to happen.
