john_leizear_speechIt has been my experience that programming skateparks is as crucial to their success as any other recreational facility. Parks and Recreation Departments are constantly supporting their community's needs with programs. Skateparks should be no different.

Everything from yoga to pickle ball can be found in most Parks districts. Skateparks need that same kind of attention to untap their full potential. It is understood by most skatepark users that the is going going to be used on a daily basis and that it will draw a lot of pre-teen and teenaged kids, but we rarely view skateparks as places to host community events. The people are there now. Parks departments should be eager to capitalize on the skatepark's strength of being able to attract and retain this hard-to-reach constituency.
