Skate Park Workshop Tonight

Thursday, September 10, 2015 @ 3:52 AM

Prince George, B.C.-  A workshop aimed at  coming up with ideas  for a design of  a skate park in  Corporal  Darren Fitzpatrick Bravery Park  is set for this evening.2015-08-19 09.42.44The park  has been   suggested as the preferred site  for a  facility  where skateboarders  can  practice their  hobby.  While there  is a skate park in P.G,. its location across from the YMCA on Massey Drive  does not make it  easily accessible for  youth in the Hart.

The City of Prince George is partnering with the Hart Community Association and  Rotary in  Prince George to  come up with some concept designs  but wants to hear  from the  public.

Tonight’s design workshop is slated to start at 6:30 at the Hart Pioneer Centre and roll through to 8:30.  The workshop is being  held by New Line Skateparks Inc, the same company that designed the Massey Drive skatepark.

What a great thing to be doing for our youth in PG and the Hart Highway!

This is something that is sorely needed in the Hart, though it would be a bit out of the way at that location. I am concerned that little kids might not feel safe there, and that the relative isolation will lead to an unsavoury element . Ballparks nearby, Elks centre nearby, Heather Park School nearby, but the Cpl. Fitzpatrick park is kind off in a corner.

It definitely must be in an open location like the one across from the YMCA! These are strange, weird and dangerous times! Don’t put it where it is semi concealed! There are plenty of more suitable locations!

Why don’t they put it on that empty chunk of land for sale beside the Husky across from the scales?
