Please help Jordan Thompson and Shawn Gabel turn their skateboard passion into a skatepark reality in Harleysville, PA Dilemma The dilemma our children are facing today is that skaters do not have a safe, designated place to skate. Streets are unsafe to ride; children are being told to leave the public trails and may be a nuisance to businesses, public and private properties. Once children reach middle school age they have outgrown their driveways and it makes it difficult to progress in their sport. “If a town does not have a skatepark, the town is the skatepark.” Mission To provide youth riders a safe place in the community to practice, build their skills and foster a sense of belonging. Parents want to keep the kids off the streets and keep them SAFE. Action Please sign the petition to support Jordan and Shawn's dream to have a skatepark in Harleysville, PA and for kids to have a safe place to skate, a sense of belonging and a safe area to progress in their sport.

Updates

April 8, 2011

The local council is ignoring our concerns about street safety so I need you to email your town representative today. Tell them exactly why Harleysville needs a dedicated space for our youth to ride.

April 8, 2011

The momentum behind this skatepark is reaching a point where officials can no longer ignore our kids. Call the local council office today to demand they put this on the upcoming agenda.

My son is always getting kicked out of parking lots. He just wants a place to learn new tricks without being treated like a criminal.
