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.
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!
