They actually said yes to the concrete park and I am honestly still in shock that this is real life now. It feels so weird to think we might actually have a place to ride without getting yelled at by the neighbors, though I guess we have to wait a …

This petition is to help me and lots of others in Harleston get a skate park. We have pretty much nothing there except a run down old dirt track which no body uses or likes. Building this skate park will reduce anti-social behavior and increase a more positive community. This will also get youngsters off of the streets and into doing something.

I was just looking at the map and realized how much space we actually have behind the rec center if the council would just wake up and listen. The numbers are climbing which is honestly wild to watch while I try to figure out how to frame the pitch for the meeting. If we keep this momentum going and get to that next milestone it might actually force their hand so please send the link around to anyone who might care.

We are crawling toward that first hundred and it feels like the momentum is finally building even if I am still waiting for the council to actually pick up my calls. If you know anyone else in Harleston who wants a spot to ride instead of just dirt tracks please get them to click the button because hitting this milestone makes it impossible for them to keep pretending we do not exist.

My son would love it if we could have a skatepark locally instead of trekking to Diss or Norwich. I'm sure he would use it every day as would many others. Great for skills, fitness and socially; meeting others with the same interest.

My son has been apart of establishing s skatepark in harleston since he was 10 he is 20 this year. The outdoor gym was a complete waste of time, money and effort. Give the kids what they need please!!!

The Eaton park, Norwich one is great...Diss skatepark not so good as made from tarmac...needs to be a concrete bowl like Eaton park..the kids love it but Norwich is a long way to drive when you live in Harleston!!

A skate park would be brilliant in harleston it would give the kids more to do as there is nothing there, and they are building a lot more houses which means a bigger population.

We NEED a skatepark in Harleston. I'm a skateboarder and learning BMX skills. In Harleston we have literally no where to go, if we get a skatepark i'm sure more people will come to Harleston and it'll get kids off the streets.

A few of us kids have been threatened to get an asbo if we don't stop riding scooters around but we have nowhere to ride this would solve our problem
