Here is a copy of a letter we sent to the City
To whom it may concern:

Paxton is in need for a skatepark. The skaters have been multiplying within the years in the United States, Now in Paxton. Please review the following reasons why a skatepark is necessary.

1 Skateparks will keep kids out of trouble.

2.Skateparks will keep skaters from uptown. (The best place right now to skate, but skaters are not allowed on the sidewalk).

3.Skateparks will keep owners of lots from hassling skaters to get off their property.

4.Kids will have something to do.

5.There are plenty of places to put it.

6. The nearest skatepark is in Champaign.(Parents dont want to drive there kids that far)

7.And many, many more.
