I live near the Shoreline skatepark, and I love seeing kids heading to and from the area with their skateboards. Keeps them busy, keeps the neighborhood active and lively. Kids of all ages -- primary school through (and beyond) high school. I don't live across the street from the park, but I've never seen a Bad Element when I've visited.

As a father of a small child, living 2 blocks from the proposed Regional skate park at Magnusson Park, I only have one thing to say. BUILD THE DAMN SKATE PARK. I'd much rather have my child hang out and learn how to grind, than staring at a weed filled lot waiting for the Mayor to do something with it.

I find it incredible that my hometown of 2200 in the middle of nowhere managed to build a skatepark while Seattle barely makes an effort to give these damn hooligans a place to grind or whatever they're calling it these days.
