(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

I am a part of the skating community in Bridgeport and it is hard to fun place to skate without be kicked out since we have no place to go since the skatepark has been taken away.

I am signing because I have been skateboarding for 10 years and it's always great to see the next generation of kids at skateparks. Wether they are riding bikes, skateboarding, rollerblading or scooters it is always nice to know these people have an outlet and are staying off the street. A skatepark is good for the community.

Every town should have a skatepark! I miss riding seaside every time i would go to Bridgeport!

I’m signing because we need a new park in Bridgeport, there’s a large skating population and not everyone has the money/car to either take the bus or drive a couple towns away for a decent place to skate.

(Milford, 2018-05-27)

#19

I’m signing this because I know how important it is for the people in the community to have something to do - a place to go to stay active and do something productive to stay out of trouble. It also allows them to learn a skill of which they can make a profession. Just like Baseball and Football, professional skateboarders make a great living off competitions and sponsors. Please help make this happen, the community deserves it.

Thank you very much for tou time

I’m signing this so that the youth of Bridgeport, CT and of surrounding cities can have a place to exercise and practice skateboarding. This could be a place to build friendships and memories!

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#26

Keep as many kids on skateboards or bike as you can. As skate park could lower the crime rate

If any city needs a skate park, it's Bridgeport. Keep the scene alive!

(Torrington CT, 2018-05-27)

#33

Bridgeport is my hometown and I want the youth to have something to do instead of turning to the streets or doing other bad things.

(Kissimmee, 2018-05-27)

#34

We need a skatepark because we have good skaters that keeps begging for one. So this is good for our community

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#36

Bridgeport needs places for kids and young adults to express themselves!

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

It took away people’s source of joy.

(Indianapolis, 2018-05-27)

#42

Bridgeport has to offer something more to the community. Instead of taking everything away. Period

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#44

I believe we could use another skate ramp for the people of Bridgeport.

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#45

I’m signing because the skatepark was an amazing idea for the city. Lots of kids and even adults would spend time at the skatepark. It keeps people away from the hoods and violence. Very productive and positive. Also makes city look even greater.

(Stratford, 2018-05-27)

#46

Having a skatepark near me growing up kept me out of trouble and off the street and away from the wrong crowds. Youths in the bpt area NEED this... in the grand scheme of things this will cost a fraction of what many other town projects cost and will benefit the community GREATLY.

(Stratford, 2018-05-27)

#47

Even though I don’t skate, it’s a huge part of Bridgeport culture. It’s fun, it’s active and one of the few activities that can be done since there’s not a lot to do in BPT.

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#50

There needs to be more safe havens for Bridgeport youth to stay off the streets. Growing up skateboarding taught me so many lessons still used today. Perseverance, social skills, hard work, determination, enjoying a sense of accomplishment, and having a place to feel socially accepted among peers are all things that I will forever be grateful for skateboarding.

(stratford, 2018-05-27)

#53

We need a new park in bpt after parks and recreation removed our skate park at seaside without a replacement or exsplination why

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#61

This City is filled with many young kids who have talent with skating or art we need to express this more. And make Bridgeport amazing.

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#64

The more skateparks the better for our youth to have a safe and fun place to hangout and enjoy themselves and friends.

Im signing this because we really do need anotber skate park in Bridgeport. If you want all of the skateboarders to stop damaging private nor regular property, then i suggest give the people/skateboarders what they want.

(Bridgeport, Connecticut, 2018-05-27)

#70

The youth of Bridgeport need something to do that positive #bringbackbpt

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#71

Skating is a way to help the youth and keep them focused on something else that has promising outcomes.

(Stratford, 2018-05-27)

#73

I'm signing because I grew up skating seaside skatepark and when I saw it getting demolished it was way to sad of a day. Me and many others miss and want Bridgeport to show they care about there youth again and build a skatepark. Doesn't have to be any thing crazy. But you know a cool skatepark built by bridgeports own "rampage skateparks" would be a great way to keep kids out of the hair of the police, security and anyone else who doesn't like the act of skateboarding/bmx. Well they have to at least enforce the rules, I don't know if they actually don't like it.

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

I believe that a skatepark can create a safer and tighter community , giving all different types of people a true experience and chance to develop and grow and being apart of a community

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#113

Bridgeport is in need of recreational spots that support the demands of local skaters and bikers. It would be beneficial for the youths to have space to thrive and improve in the activities that they excel at.

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#114

Signing this petition Because I was born and raised 17 years in Bridgeport Connecticut . I believe how can you be the Park city without a skate park it’s a foregone conclusion you have a ramp manufacture in rampage in the city also I was one of the pioneers at 17 years old that got seaside skatepark originally built In 2005 . Please understand that Bridgeport is a perfect place to have a plaza concrete skate park possibly the biggest one in the state of Connecticut if done right . I understand that the city is in the process of possibly building a casino but the truth of the matter is that a skate park is for the youth of the city keeping them out of trouble keeping them focused on a different activity than basketball baseball soccer etc. that is all awesome but you might as well throw skateboarding rollerblading and BMX in there too it’s something that they use all day it is something that the city needs especially the kids in the city and let’s all hope that you believe so as well thank you .

This city needs a skatepark because there’s lot of talent there that needs to be untilized

(Lowell, 2018-05-27)

#128

Skateparks are a great way to get kids outdoors and doing active things. Having a skatepark in Milford kept me in line while going through hard times in life. The community of people who use Skateparks is growing every day so eventually we will run out of room

(Milford, 2018-05-27)

#129

I’m signing because my friends and I need somewhere we can grind without getting bitched at by the pigs

(Milford, 2018-05-27)

#130

I Aprove this message

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#132

I support public skateparks and Bridgeport should have one!

(Shelton, CT, 2018-05-27)

#136

I will be using this skatepark frequently with many of my friends if it is built.

(Monroe, 2018-05-27)

#137

I’ve noticed a lot of inner city kids come to these places not just for a hobby but to keep themselves away from trouble. Taking the only safe and happiness away from them is just asking for more domestic problems within our city. You gotta understand where most of these kids come from and how they’re growing up with these influences around.

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#139

Cause I love skating and rampage

The skate community has an important part about in Bridgeport history for years. Many artists, musicians, and innovators come from this community. I believe they deserve somewhere that is their own so they can continue to foster creativity.

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#141

I grew up in Bridgeport, and the only thing that kept me from falling any deeper into the drug culture was skateboarding. Long days and nights skating at Seaside Skatepark and Rampage skateshop were the single thing that kept me from being on the block. Without skateboarding and the culture it gave birth to, there wouldn't be the art scene today. Skateboarding saved my life, and skateboarding will save Bridgeport.

(Bridgeport, 2018-05-27)

#142

Kids teenagers and people of all ages need somewhere to skate thats meant for them!!!

#152

skateboarding is an amazing way to keep high energy kids focused

(Milford, 2018-05-28)

#155

I’m signing because the community that utilizes these parks were stripped away of one which isn’t fair, which now limits us to a smaller one right next to a very busy road and not easily accessible/safe unless you’re old enough to drive. Bridgeport is a large city, so to avoid having cops patrol around when we use private property and “vandalizing” as some would say, they can direct their attention to other things that are worthwhile, not people just trying to have fun. We need to express our passions, and with a new skatepark that isn’t at a beach where everything eroded and rusts away, it’ll be heavily beneficial to not only the experienced people but to recruit youth and lead them to a better path.

(Waterbury, 2018-05-28)

#156

I’m an avid skateboarding and I would hate to see people not have a proper place to skate.

(Fairfield Ct, 2018-05-28)

#157

The more skateparks we have in CT the better. Skateboarding is a positive outlet for our youth and a huge stress reliever for “us” old folks! Build something worth it!

(Bristol, 2018-05-28)

#162

Here to support anytning that has to do with outside activities that allows us to be creative with whatever hobby we choose while at these parks, love the idea hope it follows through !

(West haven, 2018-05-28)

The skate and Bmx community is more alive than ever in the area yet we have nothing to ride and we really need something or else all the local businesses and companies will hate us

(Seymour, 2018-05-28)

Skating is an activity that helps people not only develop physical skills but their brain as a result. The vestibular system is trained through movement. This is a very beneficial thing
