Skatepark in Rockdale |

Category: Youth
Region: United States of America
Target: Board of Commissions
Background (Preamble):
There are dozens of playgrounds in Rockdale for primary school-aged children - several within walking distance of every house.
There is NOTHING for secondary school-aged children, except TWO skate parks - one in Stone Mountain and one in McDonah - not within walking or cycling distance for school kids.
It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to drive from Rockdale to one of these skateparks.

Petition:
THIS IS UNFAIR. Then the Councils wonder why youth hang around the streets with nothing to do. Teenagers need exercise and facilities too.
Skateboarding is a popular sport - if kids have no skateparks, they will still skate - on the streets, churches, or even schools. People tell them to get lost, but they have no alternative!
PLEASE - we would like a skatepark for teenagers in Rockdale!
