REASONS TO HAVE
A SKATEBOARD PARK

Benefits to skaters:
• A sense of a place that they can call their own.
• An opportunity to channel their energy to something positive.
• A safe place to go after school.
• A legal park where they cannot receive a citation.

Benefits to the community:
• Kids off the streets.
• A sense of pride in showing that the government, local business, kids (who will one day be voters), parents, and police officers can work together for one goal.
• The town will become a safer place for everyone.

Benefits to local businesses:
• A relief from skaters using their property to skate.
• An opportunity to contribute to the quality of life in their town. Making a better community does make better business.
