Skate Park Meeting

From the city: On Thursday, April 12 at 6 pm, the La Vergne Parks & Recreation Department will hold a community meeting at the Skate Park at Veteran's Memorial Park. The City will host an open discussion with the skate park users about current issues as well as the future of the La Vergne Skate Park. They want community input and would like to hear citizen's ideas or concerns about the La Vergne Skate Park. They urge all regular users of the Skate Park and their parents to attend. In case of rain, the meeting will be moved to Pavilion A (by the playground).

My own questions: I think the skate park was a brilliant idea as a recreation option for our young residents. If the skate park is being abused, though, have police patrols been increased (I'm sure they have)? Does the park have set hours of operation? If they skate park is there, why did my Girl Scout troop have to dodge the boys on their skateboards while we sat in front of Movie Gallery a few weeks ago at our cookie booth? What about setting up an office for our recreation department in that vicinity so they can keep an eye on things? I know these are big budget questions, but a big picture approach could be helpful.... is anything else planned at Veteran's Park?
