This petition is to help Salisbury, Maryland achieve
its goal of having a FREE, safe, state of the art
public skateboard park for all to use.
When we (The Salisbury Skatepark Committee) first started our mission, 6 years ago, it was based on the goal of providing a free and safe public park. The park was to provide the community, as a whole, with a place that would meet a need that is currently unmet. Our mission has not changed.
The site that is being funded for, by the state, through the Department of Natural Resources on South Park Drive has all the ingredients to fulfill our mission. This site was fully researched by the Maryland D.N.R. and found to meet all requirements, including environmental impact, for both phase I & II of the skatepark. There is 14,000 of workable square footage in addition to on and off street parking. A wonderful spot to build such a great amenity for the City of Salisbury.
The most important piece of this puzzle is that the Salisbury City Council has to approve the DNR funding for the park before anything happens. Without the approval of the City Council there will be no public skatepark. The Salisbury City Council has decided to NOT APPROVE the funding at this time.
We have an opportunity to meet an unmet need for our city. An opportunity to complete our mission and give to our community what it has asked for. These opportunities don't happen everyday and we should be thankful and proud to have this opportunity. So I ask that you please sign this petition and help convince Salisbury's City Council to approve the fundings and bring a skatepark to Salisbury, MD.

Kids got nowhere to skate downtown without getting kicked out. Just build the park already.
My son loves skating so much. It would be amazing to have a proper place for him to practice instead of the parking lot at the mall.
ABOUT TIME. Salisbury needs this bad!
so many other towns have one why not us?? makes no sense.
Keeping the kids busy and out of trouble is always a win. Build it!

6 years is way too long for a promise. Get it done.
