Newton, Ma needs a skate park. Skateboarding is viewed as a big problem around here and I as well as everyone who signs this, feels that a skate park would solve the problem. Skateboarders in Newton are often told to "find somewhere else to skate" but we don't have anywhere else, but some public bench or stair set. This is the on-going problem. It's gotten to a point where I've been physically pushed off of my skateboard for skating a stair set that belonged to the city. Us skateboarders are viewed as criminals, with such a low crime rate in Newton. The reason for this, is because cops are frequently called on us for skateboarding in areas that we're technically not supposed to. However, we skateboard in these areas because we don't have a skate park. I ask those of you who are reading this to please consider the benefits of a skate park in Newton and sign this petition.
