The city can be overwhelming at times and many people use NYC Parks as a respite from the everyday Hustle and bustle. Many of you who have visited NYC or any big city for that matter, know what I mean. Some of the city residents you see active in and using the parks are skateboarders. New York City has at least 9 public skate parks, these skate parks are operated by the NYC Dept of Parks & Recreation. It would be hard to estimate how many skateboarders you can find in a city this big, although it would be safe to say that the sport is very popular, and you can hardly turn a corner without seeing someone skating. With this said, I believe the city may have too few skate parks. I as a long time skater and someone who would like to support the community I would like to see that change. Unfortunately some of our skate parks are not supervised, and one in particular may be closed. This I feel would be a disservice to the skating community and I would like to work towards keeping this park open. Like almost any other service based company the parks use indicates its need and importance. To ensure and promote the use of the city’s skate parks I will be organizing a skate competition. By using the skate parks and recording the attendance we can help save this park and contribute to the promotion of the sport. Your support in this endeavor will go a long way to ensuring the success of the skate competition. The Park Rangers in NYC are committed to this Idea due to our belief that a health body & mind starts with a healthy environment. If you are interested in participating please contact me for more information about how you or your company can get involved. P.S. Although I have produced large events in the past, this will be my first skate competition. To make the event as successful as possible I would appreciate any advice or suggestions you may have on this matter. To whom it may Concern:
