•I believe the land over there on Park Drive in Belmont that Belmont Parks and Rec has allotted for a skate park is a bad idea. I don’t think the Belmont community in general will benefit from this—other than just a handful of kids that are skateboarding which for the most part is just a few of them that we have to kick off of sidewalks and in the parks.
If they could use this land for something that would be useful for the entire community that would be safe, that would be a great idea. Obviously, it didn’t work over in Lineberger Park in Gastonia nor did it work in Cherryville. I don’t see why they think it’s going to work in Belmont. It’s going to ruin property value and just cause trouble.
