Support a Vineland NJ Skate Park
Petition published by Patricia Nelson on Nov 09, 2010
15 Signatures 
|
Target: Vineland City Council
Region: United States of America
Petition Background (Preamble):
The skateboard and BMX riders in Vineland, NJ have no legal park of their own to practice and ride. They are often ticketed and fined by the police because the parking lots and hand built sites that they practice in are not sanctioned by the city, county, or property owners, and are not safe places to play.
There are no legal facilities available for them other than the YMCA, which charges a fee too high for many of our students to pay.
A BMX/skatepark would provide a safe, fun family place to play. It will also give our young people an escape from our city's criminal element. The city has made baseball, basketball, tennis, and soccer facilities available for the children who have those interests. The skateboarders and BMX riders deserve the same consideration.
