    We are unable to attend tonight’s meeting in person but want to voice our family’s support for the Lakewood Skate Park. The park provides a healthy outlet for both kids and adults and rounds out the wonderful park offerings in our city. Whether we are using the skate park or visiting Lakewood Park for baseball games or the Solstice Steps, we love the way the skate park adds to the vibrancy of our community. Improvements to the park are needed and we support the use of city dollars for this important amenity.

    The Lakewood Skatepark has been a long standing cornerstone in the community and can only bring additional camaraderie and commerce with a new edition!

    The City of Lakewood is such a diverse community, and the Skate Park adds to that diversity. My daughter attended the Skateboard Camp for the first time this summer and hasn't stopped talking about it since. She begs to go back to the park on a daily basis. As we gear up and head out, we know we will be greeted by all ages who have a common interest and passion. The Skate Park gets crowded, but there is always somebody there to help others perfect their skills, whether it is somebody pushing off on level ground, attempting their first drop in, or figuring out the correct way to do an Ollie.
    I am asking that the Finance Commitee continue fundraising and financing efforts to improve such an unique space that offers so much enjoyment to so many people.

    A father of twin 7-year-olds we’ve recently discovered the skate park and it has quickly become our main summer destination with multiple daily visits. I/ we support the expansion!

    I can not attend this evening for the meeting but I want to express my support for the expansion of the skate park. My daughter is a child that frequents the oak and has always had good experiences and I would love to see it grow with the younger kids who are enjoying it.

    I am in full support of the expansion of the skatepark. some of my fondest memories and closest friends would not be with me if it wasn’t for the skatepark and I believe that expanding it will not only make it a better place for everyone who currently uses it but will also bring more people to the amazing communities of both skateboarding and lakewood!
