There is an unused parking lot/section of East Shore Park behind the basketball courts that would be ideal for a skatepark. Edgewood shouldn't be the only go-to park in the city for kids who skateboard or ride BMX's. It's a perfect location for this, and the city should see if they can get someone to underwrite it. If Westville can have one, East Shore Park--which is used by thousands of people every day for baseball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, bike-riding, walking and running--should, too.

I'm not sure what your feelings on bikes have to do with the issue--just so you know though, 10 speed bikes haven't been trendy since the 90s or even 80s! All the cool kids now want a dura-ace 11 speed cassette, and most road bikes have 20+ speeds.
On topic though, while the city may not have the money for a park at East Shore now, I think it's worthwhile to start planning and thinking about it. If the area is currently a run-down lot, and the city owns it, it would make sense to get use of it. It's a great time for neighbors and citizens to start thinking about how the space can be best used and look into raising money.

i think this is a great idea! its a really lively park, and the more options there to enjoy it and be active, the better.
i support this idea especially since it is technically illegal to skateboard anywhere in new haven other than in a skate park (which i think is overkill)

As a resident of the area all my life I know that the land was left to the city of new haven to be used only as a park. I even believe there is a trust fund set up for mainenance etc on the land as long as it is used for that purpose.
