He presented on a map of Middle Park how a 12,000-15,000 square foot skate park would fit in the Middle Park locations and requested feedback from the people attending the public hearing. Everyday there is something going on in Middle Park. Chairman Hutter explained that the funding for this is not available. The public hearing was called to explain that this is being considered, but is not being decided tonight. We are trying to determine if there is a need, if we can get the funding and where will it be located.
Middle Park has a lot of nice qualities there now.
Parents want it in a neighborhood where they can go, not a thirty-minute drive to a facility. He does not feel any more skaters are needed on the bike trail. There is already too much in Middle Park. The schools are going north and that is the direction development is going, so why not place the skate park out north. Middle Park is a centralized location.
