COUNCIL MATTERS (23.28)
Mr. Pirzynski gave an update of the Skate Park Sub -Committee. He spoke of the sites which the
committee reviewed and ofthe Blossom Hill site which seemed most feasible for an interim skateboard
park. After input from Blossom Hill neighborhood, tennis players and skateboarders, the
subcommittee agreed to remove the Blossom Hill site from any consideration for a skate park facility
and discontinue looking for any other interim site, as it would divert resources from establishing a
permanent site.
The committee concluded that they had completed their assignment and at this time would appreciate
being given the opportunity to continue pursuing a permanent site. Staff plans to move ahead with
the work needed for the land negotiations and the issues that need be considered for the
implementation of a permanent facility.
The following speakers from the audience addressed this issue:
Marcia Wright, spoke against any skateboarding park being built in town due to health and safety
concerns.
Ray Davis, asked that plans for building a permanent skate park in Vasona be stopped. He says facts
state that these parks are not being used enough to warrant their expense.
