Shelly Elliott, Member of the Hampton Citizens Association on
behalf of the children of Hampton, submitting to Council a petition
collected by the children requesting the need of a recreational
skatepark facility. Skateboarding, rollerskating and trick biking has
become more popular than ever. At the present time; there is no
local and safe area for their children to participate in this activity.
As records would show, the Clarington Mobile Skatepark was a
tremendous success leaving their children wanting more. A
permanent facility would keep their children safe from the ever
increasing traffic flow incurred from the placement of a permanent
liquor store outlet. At the present time, Hampton has a new
generation of families and children moving to this area and the only
summer activity is organized soccer. All they are requesting for
consideration is a smooth skating surface with some grinding rails
and some ramps,
