I'm starting this petition in hopes that we can somehow save the Brooklyn Banks. The Brooklyn Banks is the legandary skatepark of New York. It is located directly underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. This park was and still is the only real(and free)skating park in the city. The city is looking to shut the park down and use it for storage space. This would mean the loss of a New York landmark. Its not just the park that has such significance to its skaters, it's the community that grew and still grows within its walls. I'm hoping that you or anyone else you might know will sign this petition and help keep this community alive. This park should be avaiable to todays youth as it once was for me and the thousands of others of skaters that rode its rails.
