Skateboard Park For Manteo Considered

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Shore Realty of the Outer Banks NC#127284

The town of Manteo is considering building a park for skateboarders. At a recent meeting the majority of residents who spoke were in favor of the town providing a place for the youth to gather and do what they like to do. There were the usual dissenters who believe kids should be kept indoors but it looks like the town might actually follow through and give the kids a place to have fun that is not illegal.

Unfortunately for the kids around here skateboarding is illegal is most areas. Mostly due to liability issues business owners prohibit skateboarding in their parking lots. If the town builds a park for these youngsters they will be taking a step in letting the kids grow up without believing they are criminals. Treat them like criminals and that is how they are going to perceive themselves. Skateboarding is innocent harmless fun. It is time for the towns to stop treating it like a criminal activity and gives these kids a place to play.
