In this article I will discuss the idea of ​​building a local skateboard park in Richmond Hill. I will examine the pros and cons of building a skateboard park and its impact on society through the use of examples and information that I have researched. Skateboarding is an often misunderstood sport that often has many misconceptions and negative associations made by people who are usually unfamiliar with the sport. Negative stereotypes continue to portray skateboarders as delinquent youths with little respect for authority. Skateparks are therefore seen in a similar negative light. Many communities are unable to see the beneficial qualities of building a community skatepark and often overlook the idea of ​​building one. Richmond Hill is one of those communities that has not yet considered building a community skatepark and I would like to discuss building one. A skatepark is a recreational environment specifically created for skateboarding and other sports such as BMX and even scooter riding. Skateboard parks regularly consist of ramps, tracks and other features of different sizes on which skateboarders can perform tricks and skate. Skateboard parks also regularly contain a Bowl, which is a large empty pool-like area where skateboarders can skate.

I've done some research and have some knowledge of what it means for people growing up on a reservation and how many negative activities many young people have started to get involved in. For these young people to have a place to go and engage in healthy activity is priceless. Watching and seeing how appreciative and happy the people of this community were about the skatepark being built really made me see skateparks in a much better light.
