Skate park real plus!

Dear Editor,

Amidst all the build-up to the elections we had a glorious moment in Los Alamos. It took place on Oct. 29th right in the middle of our community with quite a few onlookers and quite a lot of participants. That moment happened when a ribbon was cut and a mass of our residents, ages 4 to 40, poured onto the sculptured curves and smooth surfaces of our new skateboard park. Instantaneously, there was a tsunami wave of joy washing over those on wheels AND those on the sidelines.

I hope that some of the people who were so adamantly opposed to the park were there to witness this event. But for those of you who weren’t, there is plenty of opportunity to feel a bit of the joy on any given day of the week. Please stop the negative comments and just go sit on one of the benches at the edge of the park for a while. You will still see folks – yes, FOLKS – not just teenagers – enjoying the new facility.  In addition to skateboards they come on rollerblades, scooters, bicycles, unicycles and even tricycles with parents rolling alongside.
