Goreyskatepark

wreckless

Hi all,

im writing this on behalf of the local skateclub, the local skaters and for anyone who has ever visited the goreyskatepark. We would like to ask for some help.

First of all, hopefully most reading this have been down our way some time or other and had a roll in goreyskatepark. We know its not huge, but it is great wee park and we are very lucky to have it. It is now over 2 1/2 years old and has only had the fencing replaced since then as the original fencing was damaged and removed.

We are applying to our council/ departments/ development groups locally to see if we can get an extension on to the skatepark. The plan or idea is to get a beginners area, mostly flat ground, and hopefully a street orientated area too, stairs, rail, ledges. The fencing can be reviewed at the same time as it too close to the overall skatepark anyway, and maybe even put in some cabeling for future lighting.

We would like to ask you to help our application by sending us an email of support for this application to the skateclub,

info@goreyskateclub.com

If you could , please discuss that wether you have skated it, what you impressions were of the skatepark, the surface, the skaters in the park/ outside of the park, the onlookers in and out of the skatepark,, the other people in the town park, the atmosphere, the challenge of the park, the amount of room/ lack of room, would an extension be a good idea/ bad idea, events you have been at, would lighting be a good idea, why do like the skatepark or hate etc, how long your skating, where your local skatepark is etc, parks in ireland you like/ dislike etc.,

We hope that some of you reading this would be kind enough to take 5-10 mins and bash out a quick email and send it to us, hopefully with your help and support, our application will be looked at more favourably.

much appreciated and thanks everyone
