Given that Scotland spends half the year with short days, adequate lighting should be considered an essential part of any public recreational facility. Clearly lighting is not merely desirable for the skatepark. Omitting to install it in the first place was a design flaw and needs to be rectified as soon as possible..

Light it up, make it safe and encourage youngsters to be active.

Totally agree with this to maximise use of the park and also from a safety perspective.

One of the best skateparks in Aberdeen. 3 good reasons why 1. Gives kids somewhere sporty to go 2. Free to use 3.About time this Coumcil thought about the kids mental and physical health - all achievable by lighting a playpark.

We want to encourage our young people to be active but this shouldn't have to stop when the sun goes down.

With skateboarding coming to the Olympics next year it would be great if Aberdeen could support boarders and other users of Westburn by providing a safe environment for them to skate, ride or scooter. This would also encourage new younger boarders /users to go to the park, something we should support instead of complaining that young people are becoming unfit and obese.

Skating is such a great sport. In children it creates balance and strength physically and mentally. Anything that causes more outdoor activity is worth promoting

I think we should get lights because without them it's dangerous and can cause injury to the skater/bmxers/scotters at the park
