Citizens of Winter Haven Info
We need the citizens of Winter Haven to support the development of a publicly funded skateboard park in our town. Many other cities across Polk County have opened such parks, and few have reported problems or lawsuits. Studies have shown that skateboarding is no more dangerous than tennis or basketball, and certainly poses less of a liability threat than a public pool: all of which are provided for in some part by the city. We have recognized the need for and benefits of a skatepark; and we believe that our city should at the very least aid us by parceling a portion of public land for this use, and at least fund, build and maintain a skatepark as it would a tennis court, basketball court, swimming area, playground, baseball diamond, or other general use public area. Contact me if you have any comments on this.
