Demand the revision of construction on pole green park skatepark.
Pole green park in Mechanicsville Virginia has a skatepark that many of the Hanover locals and locals from the surrounding counties come to pole green park to ride the skate park as there are not many in the area. About 2 years ago the skate park was torn down and rebuilt very budgeted and very unintelligently. The old skate park used to be very open with objects placed in places were people could skate with ought having to worry about running into people. To dumb it down the park had a lot of flow and then the construction of the new park has resulted in terrible placement of ramps and rails that congest the center of the park. Every thing has been replaced with cheap ramps and rails from the internet and they have placed everything down in the ugliest fashion to the point when there are a lot of people in the park you cannot ride anything without running into someone. The newest edition for 5-10 year olds is a 15 foot long and 1 1/2 foot tall rail that ends 5 feet in front of a fence... as well as a manual pad and a ledge that sit where you have to be in order to skate what's in the middle of the park. they have crammed way to many lines into the park and there is no flow at all. Basically there placement of certain objects has rendered them un skateable or puts you in a position to run into someone else. So many people get hurt from the cracks in the concrete from tearing down the old ramps and from running into people because every line runs into another line. The park needs to change because a lot of us have no where else to go skate. Who ever is in charge of the construction inside the skate park needs to sit down and listen to the locals and get there views and opinions on the placement of things and why they are sticking in the park. Otherwise they will keep wasting money that could go towards an actual skateable park. Every single person that comes to the skate park hates what the skate park has become. It's turned into the worst park we have ever seen. So we kindly ask that you revise your construction on the park and talk to the locals about what should be done or let the locals be able to construct homemade Ramps out of wood or concrete and be able to just brin stuff in to ride there also or get actually make a pro for us we can ride. A nice skate park would attract a lot off attention to the park and bring a lot more people down here which in turn help the towns business owners and bring more attention to pole green park.
