In response to the small handful of people protesting the creation of a Bike Skills Park in Brantford at Waterworks Park.
Contrary to their belief, facilities like these will not create vandalism and littering, they will give youth something to do and actually keep them out of trouble. And as for littering, most of the litter on the trails come from hikers & dog walkers, cyclists are not carrying coffee cups or doggy poo bags, which makes up the majority of trash found by the river.
Bikers have been riding these trails for over 30 years, and have helped keep them accessible, rideable and walkable.
A proper bike park will get our youth off the couch, out of the malls and off the streets, getting exercise and in general staying out of trouble.
It will not affect wildlife any more than the soccer field right next to it, or the concrete picnic pavilion on the other side. No trees will be harmed and only dirt and wood will be used in its construction.
We the undersigned call on Brantford City Council to move forward with the planned bike skills facility at Waterworks Park.
You can further help this campaign by sponsoring it
