PLEASE SUPPORT REBUILDING THE HEBRON SKATEPARK
We are seeking your support to petition the Hebron Parks & Rec Commission to rebuild the skatepark at Veterans Memorial Park.
Over the summer, the skatepark was vandalized/set on fire and subsequently closed to the public. The estimate of repairs is $34,060 which will be covered by insurance. The Parks & Rec Commission is contemplating rebuilding the skatepark or closing it permanently and using the money for something else.
Our kids love the skatepark. There are lots of families in Hebron and surrounding towns that also love the skatepark. Our message to the Commission is simply this: please don't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch. You decided it was a good idea to make the investment and build the skatepark in the first place - that has not changed. It is still a great place for kids to have fun outdoors, be active, and challenge themselves in a safe and protected setting.
Please sign this petition to show the Hebron Parks & Rec Commission that there are, in fact, many kids and families who enjoy using the skatepark in a responsible and respectful manner.
Thank you for supporting rebuilding the Hebron skatepark.
Sincerely,
Mike and Selina Guerriero

I would hate to see this skate park dissolved. My boys are young but loved bringing their skate boards and bikes here. We were so disappointed to see it was vandalized this summer. We would be happy to help in the rebuilding process
My son grew up in that skate park. He wasn't a team sport kinda kid. That place was his outlet. We need to ensure that all of our town's your have outlets to let loose and enjoy themselves. Not justgroup sports.
My kids have met some of the nicest high school kids at the skate park. Who have taught them how to skate, which is something I could never do. The park is also an outlet for kids who may not do organized sports for various reasons including economic.
My son was instrumental in building this skatepark. He and his buddies spent many hours there, perfecting their skating and making long-lasting friendships. Please rebuild the skatepark so others can make the same memories...
I was in 7th grade when this park was built. Spent many summer days hanging out here. both my kids learned to skate here. Now that they are in middle and high school would be nice for them to see it freshened up or rebuilt. So maybe their kids will get to enjoy it.
Very much needed!
Save the ramps!

Every kid should have a place to be able to skate or ride. The blunt truth is, keeping kids in a skatepark keeps them away from the drug/alcohol lifestyle. Idk where I'd be if I didn't have a skatepark to go to everyday.
