Which extreme sport are you interested in or taking part in? Skateboarding
How long have you been doing this? approx. 12yrs
Do you go to skateparks? Yes
If yes, how often? 2-4 times weekly
Should there be a skatepark in Lisburn and why? There should since there is a lack of facilities for something our politicians, government and local council have been dismissing as a fad for the past few decades, which shows no sign of coming to a halt anytime soon. More and more people take it up every day, whether it be on a bmx, blades or a skateboard. Facilities are required for such activities, unless people wish to continue putting up with people skating on the street in public areas.

How long have you been doing this?Years lots of them.
Do you go to skateparks? Not a hope in hell.
If yes, how often? Never have never will.
Should there be a skatepark in Lisburn and why? If there is support for it and enough of that support, and the "yippiees" that go to them are willing to support it both physically and in a cash sense then yes. Otherwise no as the one that used to be in cork was a mess and got a bad name and deserved to be closed.

Should there be a skatepark in Lisburn and why? Yes there should be.
The powers that be should realise that these sports need a place of their own.It helps to keep people fit and active,and occupied enough that they arent bothered in causing trouble for other people..you know what I mean.
