Portsmouth Skaters Push For Concrete
Posted by Derek - February 23rd, 2010 6:43 am
Skaters in the Portsmouth, VA. area are making a public push to have more of a say in the construction of the Cradock Skate Park. They say the current plan is far too generic and has not nearly enough concrete. There is $200,000 in the bank for this project and how the money is spent should be up to those who will use it everyday.
To rally support for a design change, skaters should write to Mike Morris, at the Dept. Of Parks & Recreation, to let him know that the skaters want concrete. Mr. Morris can be reached at Morrism@PortsmouthVA.gov. Keeping in mind that he is a supporter of skateboarding and he has been on board with this project since the beginning, e-mails should be positive and to the point.
