Building A Skate Park In Lorton, VA

There are many Skateboarders, Inline Skaters, and Bicycle Motor Crossers in the Lorton Area that have been waiting for a new skate park to be built in order for them to have something to be able to skate and bike safely.

Without a skate park, there aren’t many things that skaters/bikers are permitted to skate/bike around this area so they resort to skating/biking private prohibited areas (others houses, schools, local businesses, etc). Skateboarding, Inline Skating, and Bicycle Motor Crossing in these prohibited areas can have a lot of consequences because there are private areas that other people own, and have rules against doing these activities. These consequences can include legal authority, and restrictions to that certain area.

To many Skateboarders, Inline Skaters, and Bicycle Motor Crossers this is not only a hobby, it is their choice of life style they live. Some people neglect the idea that this kind of activity could even be considered a sport. There are many places for other people that are interested in “real sports” to go to around this area to practice that sport. Skateboarders, Inline Skaters, and Bicycle Motor Crossers have nothing in walking range distance, and the closest skate park is Wakefield Recreational Center, which is about 13.5 miles (20 minutes) away.

This means that kids that want something to skate/bike safely after their work at school each day wouldn’t have something close for them, while the other kids that do these “real sports” actually do. Is this fair? The Skateboarders, Inline Skaters, and Bicycle Motor Crossers only ask for you to consider the idea of building a safe environment for children to skate/bike without getting in trouble. This benefits not only the Skateboarders, Inline Skaters, and Bicycle Motor Crossers, but also the people that hate the Skateboarders, Inline Skaters, and Bicycle Motor Crossers. Parents and Peers can go to work, without worrying if their child was in trouble this time.

All we ask is that you take part of your day, and consider a new skate park idea in the Lorton area. You will see how many children will really love this idea, and be safe from harm.
