In my view, consideration should also be given to the installation of, for lack of a better term, “mini-skate parks” within the boundaries of some of our neighborhood parks.
These could be small, simple entities with one or two skate elements — a bowl or grind rail, for example — and inexpensively installed for younger, less experienced skaters to develop and hone their skills without having to leave their neighborhoods to do so.
I expect there will be a large turnout of parties interested in the future of Fairview Park on Tuesday. Some will be there to defend the “natural” park, with an eye to keeping it that way for those relatively few residents who use it now.
