No Helmets or Pads

2009-05-09T18:07:00.003-04:00

I started an online petition so that hopefully no helmets or pads will be required at the new park. The statement is as follows:

To: Durham City Government
To ensure that upon completion and opening of the Durham Skatepark, that helmets and pads not be required for persons utilizing the park. The plaza should be a designated area where skateboarders and the community can meet and utilize the area provided by the city of Durham. Helmets and pads can cause more falls and injuries to experienced skateboarders, than prevent injuries. That helmets and pads are advised but not required. That persons who skate the plaza do so at their own risk, and can not hold the city of Durham responsible for any injury caused by using the designated Durham City Skate Plaza. By sighing this petition you ensure that both skateboarders and the City of Durham's needs be met. Working together we can create a skate plaza that is safe and practical for all citizens of Durham.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

We are trying to get as many signatures as possible so please tell everyone you know.
-Thank you

The Beginning.

This page is dedicated to the archiving of the creation and use of the Durham Skate Plaza. Durham is building a skate plaza on Foster Sreet, that underwent groundbreaking on Earth Day. I thought it would be good to document the creation and future of this spot in Durham. Durham has a lot of history, and I am proud that a skatepark will be part of Durham's future. I will post news pictures, information, and other related topics, as frequently as possible. If you have any news or information that is not up let me know and I can put it up. Thank you for visiting and check back soon
