Met with the South Nyack planning committee tonight and opened a couple eyes to the skateboard community that is circulating outside of their radar. Floated the possibility of building something small that could fit into an existing park, maybe on Franklin and Cedar Hill. Talked about the many options, big and small, that are out there now in the world of Skatepark design. Concerns were mainly about the space needed for a spot/park and with liability. But, some very interested people in that room. Definitely giving me hope for the future.
On a related note, can we get a statewide law that says skateboarding is dangerous to lift the liability issue? Please?!!? Yes, we know we can get hurt doing this! Its our choice! Lets free up the people that want to let parks happen from the worry of liability!
