Build for change.

I have been skateboarding for nearly 18 years. I've been kicked out of parking lots, off sidewalks, businesses and even been taken to the jail and had a ticket for just skateboarding. If it wasn't for skateboarding, I would probably be in jail or on drugs. Skateboarding helped me through everything in life and I know it's the same way for a lot of others. I understand businesses don't want their property being damaged but, if we can't skate publicly then where else are we supposed to go?...

REASONS WHY A SKATEPARK WOULD BE BENEFICIAL :

• It will give the youth as well as adults somewhere to go be with friends and enjoy their art.
• Cops won't have to keep wasting their time running off kids and can get back to bigger matters.
• Instead of having nothing to do and start doing drugs and committing crimes, they might pick up a board and start skating.
• The skatepark can act as an actual park for non skateboarders around it so to include everyone.

Skateboarding is an art and it's our passion. What better way to solve all the problems than having one place all the kids can meet up and enjoy themselves? I myself and some of my friends know company's that build parks and are willing to help plan and give our time for your time. To the City of Covington, Mandeville and St. Tammany Parish, will you please consider either rebuilding a better/up to date skatepark at Pelican Park or build one in Covington, Louisiana? A skatepark in both cities would be most beneficial considering some people from Covington and surrounding areas can't make it to Mandeville.
