The city finally listened and our new basketball courts are officially happening at Central Marion. I grew up playing on these streets and I am so relieved that the neighborhood kids will have a place to play again. Thank you for signing this and helping me fight for our community.

I have been walking through the neighborhood lately and seeing the empty spaces where our courts used to be. It is heartbreaking to watch kids searching for a place to play while the skate ramps sit abandoned. I am currently reaching out to local offices to figure out why our community needs were ignored so completely.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one who misses hearing the sound of a basketball bouncing in our neighborhood. It feels like people here are tired of being ignored and watching their local spaces disappear. We finally have the attention needed to demand better for our kids who just want a place to play.

Yes..we desperately need more for these kids to do to stay active an off social media and electronic games..children are getting getting lazy now days and this would help a lot..an plus we need a good court,all the other ones we have left are ran down ,no nets,broke rims,cuz nobody ever maintenance them
Let's make this happen, Give the community something to take care of, build a sense of pride and togetherness!
Florence St. 21st to 18th street would be a great place for this!!!! We already have Charles Park we don't need basketball courts in Matter Park
When I was growing up in Central Marion there was courts everywhere and when City Hall was taken over all programs that tutored me vanished its a damn shame that Marion has lost its way.....in all facets
I remember growing up in Marion, summers were the best because we could all meet up and play/watch the basketball games. 38th street, 14th, Valley Ave. Good clean fun.
Let's do it - vote Morrell
An accessible for the youth to get to without traffic or being on the other side of town!!!

This would be an awesome idea! I have noticed all the courts are getting replaced with other useless activities. As for example; the skate parks. Skate parks are more likely to get you into trouble, basketball will not. Please seriously think about this, we need more activities for the youth out there. Thank you!
