Issues

I was just informed by the Town of Parker and by a Crime Prevention Officer in the Parker Police Department that there have been some issues at the skatepark.

Seems that many of the people that have been enjoying the park are not taking care of it. They are not putting trash in the trash cans and that they are using at a place to indulge in some underage activities...

The town will take action if it continues. What does that mean for you? Well, it could be a lot of things. Some that were discussed in town and police meetings were: turning off the lights-so they don't come at all (not just go off earlier), putting a gate around the entire skatepark and requiring pads/helmets, or the one that would hit most of us in the nuts... shutting the park down completely. How many of you want that? I know that I sure as hell don't!!

What's the solution? How do we keep these from happening? It's quite simple really... TAKE CARE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Trash goes in the trash can. It does not go on the grass, the corners of the ledges, under the benches or down in the bowls! The town is going to add six more trash cans around the park... which should make it easier for us lazy losers to throw stuff away rather than just drop it on the ground.

If you have a better solution than not being lazy, hit me up with it and I can forward it on to who ever should hear about it. Meanwhile, the town does not want to take action, but you have pretty much put them in a bad position. So, take care of your crap and the park will remain open. Those of us that are locals should take some pride and ownership in the park. Take care of it or we lose it...
