1. It provides an amazing opportunity for our youth to enjoy and participate in a water sport that is normally only accessible to those who own or have access to a boat. It is also a healthy outlet for the youth in our area giving them an opportunity to do something in lieu of just "hanging out".
2. It will generate revenue for the City of Monroe.
3. It fulfills the purpose and responsibility of a public park by creating another venue of activity in addition to swimming, soccer, baseball, running, walking, basketball, tennis, etc. where another target demographic is met. Public parks exist to meet the needs of as many different groups as possible and Lake Tye is an ideal place for a Wakeboard Cable Park.
There are other reasons as well, but these were amongst the top drawing our support. Please seriously consider all the benefits such a park would add to our community. In our opinion, much more would be added to, then taken away from the Lake Tye park with the addition of a Wakeboard Cable Park.

The Monroe City Council is still ignoring the obvious benefits of this project while they stall on a decision. It is pathetic that they refuse to engage with a proposal that actually gives our youth a real outlet instead of leaving them with nothing to do. We are keeping the pressure on until they stop making excuses and put this park to work for the people.

The city officials continue to ignore our calls but this wave of support proves they cannot stay silent forever. We have enough momentum now to force them to look at what this community actually wants for Lake Tye.

The city would make bank off this. Cant believe anyone is against it.
BOATS ARE WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. This makes it fair for everyone to get out on the water. DO IT MONROE.
finally some real progress for our parks. hope this actually happens.
Such a great idea for the summer. My kids are bored half the time anyway.
we need this!! lake tye is the perfect spot and it brings more than just soccer to the area. so stoked for the chance to ride without needing a boat

This would be so awesome for the kids around here. Gives them something productive to do instead of just hanging out at the mall or getting in trouble.
