Skateboarding brings in a place where the outsiders come in. It’s a place of inclusion not exclusive skateboarding is not only an extreme sport but it’s also a place of liberation for some the feeling of riding a wave or down a ramp. It encourages growth because in skateboarding you can’t have fear. I hope most parks stay up so people have a destination to skate instead of resorting to somebody’s private establishments. Skaters need a home and a skatepark is one place that is safe for them to practice a sport/lifestyle that doesn’t damage the environment or the communities around them. Been a skater for many years hope to see this place stay open.
No supported: Halt the Demolition of Palm Beach Gardens Skatepark and Plant Drive ParkThis skate park holds countless cherished memories. Turning it into a profit-driven venture undermines its true value. Third spaces like this skate park- where people can gather outside work or school- are disappearing, yet they are so incredibly vital for fostering connection and a sense of belonging. This park has built a community within our larger community, offering a space where kids and adults alike can bond, grow, and thrive (creating important intergenerational relationships!!). Learning to skate here after school was such a formative part of my adolescence, and I hope and pray that future generations get to experience the same.
Caroline supported: Halt the Demolition of Palm Beach Gardens Skatepark and Plant Drive ParkI walk by this park almost everyday after school. I see kids playing basketball there, on their skate board, or talking while doing homework. It’s a place where teens can be without having to spend money for fun. They can use the area to practice for their sports when school is closed. They get to spend time outside there. A lot of the families that live next to the park have young children who ride their bikes there and are play on the equipment. If an ice skating rink was put in, it would take away from all that the skate park provides for its community. It’s simply not the right area. The traffic it would attract and the large structure would impede kids from being able to hang out, for free, and spend time outside. What needs to be thought about is the community’s needs, not the desires from people out of town who only want to visit for an ice skating rink that would harm the local community.
Molly supported: Halt the Demolition of Palm Beach Gardens Skatepark and Plant Drive ParkPBG is my hometown, this park is a staple in the community where everyone of all ages can enjoy any activity they choose. Replacing this beloved park that has been here for decades with a rink that only adheres to a certain demographics is an insult to the community and to the individuals and families who have lived here all their lives.
Rachel supported: Halt the Demolition of Palm Beach Gardens Skatepark and Plant Drive ParkI am a part of the Roswell skate youth, and I can verify that there are many promising young skaters who have the potential to become big one day. However, they are held back by the limitations of our current skatepark. A larger skate complex would greatly improve life for the youth and the Roswell community as a whole. I share this in hopes that it makes a difference because, at the end of the day, we just want to feel accepted and seen.
