Probably caused by those stupid skateboarders that the city does nothing about.. Redoing the park was a waste of money but miro wants what he gets, i hope he gets voted out!
Yes, yesterday afternoon I witnessed skateboarders specifically focused on skating between and among the fountain lights in City Hall Park. In addition to skating between the lights, they were jumping over the lights, sometimes falling short onto the lights themselves. It's really too bad but destruction in the Park will continue as long as the skateboarders are allowed there. Why was a skateboard park ever constructed on the waterfront?
The restroom is cleaned 2-3 times a day. As we have stated deterrents and signage will be going up to notify those skateboarding that they cannot skateboard on site and City staff spent time in the park personally notifying skateboarders of the rules as well as reaching out to skate shops and posting messages on social media. Thank you for the report. ~Parks
So what good are signs going to do? Why arent these people being ticketed or better yet confiscate the skateboards? Maybe that will teach them not to break the rules!
