We Support Having a Freestyle Park in Jamaica, Queens

In Jamaica, Queens, there has been a need for a safe and legal place for skateboarders, skaters, BMX riders, scooter freestylers and in-line skaters to ride because there are no parks in the vicinity. Without designated places for them to practice their sports, public sidewalks & plazas, vacant streets, parking lots and the like have become the only places for them to congregate.

We support making every effort possible to provide a free and open to the public place for this initiative.

The petition reads as follows:
In Jamaica, Queens, there has been a need for a safe and legal place for skateboarders, skaters, BMX riders, scooter freestylers and in-line skaters to ride because there are no parks in the vicinity. Without designated places for them to practice their sports, public sidewalks & plazas, vacant streets, parking lots and the like have become the only places for them to congregate. Far too often this translates into people being forced to pay fines for violations such as “trespassing” that often carry monetary penalties that teenagers, young adults, or their parents/guardians might not be able to pay, which can result in eventual arrest. A reoccurring cycle of this can easily become a way where people, especially riders over the age of eighteen, have legal violations on their permanent record. This can hamper them in the future for various opportunities as if they had been engaging in nefarious behavior instead of engaging in a healthy activity no different than playing baseball. By supplying a location for riders to exercise their talents, riders will finally have a safe haven in their own community.

We support making every effort possible to provide a free and open to the public place for this initiative.
