Mayors and city officials shine as they demonstrate they are investing in the kids in their communities. They realize that skateboarding is growing in popularity and is practiced by a significant number of residents.
There are 3,000 AYSO players on the Hill and one soccer field for every 243 players.
In the Lunada Bay Little League, there is one field for every 45 players.
On the Palos Verdes Peninsula, there are nearly 3,000 skaters and no skateparks.
Our community owes it to our kids to provide a safe and welcoming venue for skaters to practice their sport.
