The city I am recommending for a skate park is the city of Vermillion, South Dakota. The mayor and youth recreation coordinator and myself will fill out the application. I believe this city needs a skate park because the city as a whole needs more youth projects. There are many people who skate that live in the community or nearby that would use this. Most businesses and parks do not allow skateboarding and giving these people there own space would not only be recreational but will also free up some of the local law enforcement. The nearest skate park is over an hour away. This does not allow younger people to skate. Offering a new alternative will keep the childrens intrest and hopefully keep them out of trouble.
With a grant and a few donations from people in the community we will be able to charge only enough money to keep up with maitenance fees and weather repairs. We plan on putting in in a designated park that is already in the makings. A pond has already been dug out and can very simply be made into a skatepark. This skatepark will not be state of the art but it will be basic enough to offer kids a recreational option. Hopefully we can hold a few tournaments and offer prizes and upgrade it along the way.
