People are all for the facility just as long as it s not in their back yard. Nemes feels the sentiment is unfortunate. There are complaints that skateboarders are a menace on the streets. Having the park would address those concerns. Safety is also an issue.

I think Oliver is a great town. As we get older we tend to forget we had our hangouts, too. Every generation had a hangout spot. She sees the fact that the community is considering building the park as an indication that people are beginning to see some truth in that. Nemes says it may well be that some skateboarders are approaching the age where they ll be taking up different activities.
