I regularly use the skatepark and enjoy the green space surrounding the park. Please don’t take away a place where I have created friendships and found a community in skateboarding!

I think that sarasota needs to take seriously its natural resources and outdoor spaces and stop handing over green spaces for new construction

This park is amazing,one of the kind and no other like it, I watched this park building and finally it was open acsually on father's day I would say about 6 or so years ago, my boys grow up at this amazing park, i couldn't wait back then to introduce this park to my kids,and I am shure I am not the only one feel this way, my kids had and still have a bless everytime, skating or running around playing in a park, so as me I can rollerblade or just take a walk, works both for all of us, can't find any other like it,so very sad that some people don't get it that it is better be out than sit in and be stock to tv like super glue,lol

This park is home to a lot of Sarasota Friends ik so don’t take away one of the only parks they have in the area to build unnecessary buildings and businesses .

The children need a place to go that provides socializing and exercise. We have enough "Arts" in this town.

Payne Park (including the skate park) is a gathering place for families in the community. There aren't that many places downtown that families can go together without spending a bunch of money. Leave our park alone, please!
Additionally, if you take away the skatepark, the kids will still skate. Without a designated place to do that, businesses in the area may suffer from their unwanted presence on the sidewalks and stairs throughout downtown. Kids have formed friendship with others that will last a lifetime. Let's not take the skatepark away from them.

I'm 100% sure we can find a better place to build this without destroying any of Sarasota's limited beautiful parks. Especially a place as unique and beautiful as Payne Park.

My sons goes to this park every weekend. The additional parking lot will pose a danger to the pedestrians and skateboarders who frequent this park.

As a Sarasota resident I feel we are under attack everywhere- out East and in town. The greed and development is in real. This is a Park!! Keep our green open spaces!!!
