CITY OF SALISBURY wants to put SKATE BOARD PARK on EAST end of SOUTH PARK DR which is in the COUNTY not CITY
South Park Drive from Beaglin Park Dr. to the Elks Club is not in the City, they do not maintain the street, they do not send the police down that street so they want to put the skate park on that street? The land on the other side of the jogging path is in the city, that is where they want to put the skate park. The Land back there is also classified as wet lands....
Why not put the skate park on North Park Drive, where they own the street and the land is wider and far from the stream that runs through it? They can use the City Police to maintain order there because it will be on their land.

August 8, 5:30 pm in the city/county gov't building there will be a public hear regarding the skate park. Perhaps we may see the city of Salisbury actually do some positive for kids!
Put it down town on the parking lot. That's where they hang out anyway.
Why not put it adjacent to Pollitt Park, aka the civic center's new parking lot.
1) Unused parking spaces already in place.
2) Easy access for the ambulances.
3) Skaters can buy their admission tickets at the box office.
4) Won't destroy habitat.
5) Etc.
P.S. re: Pollitt Park location:
They can get another grant to buy the required real estate in order to get it off the tax rolls.
Another 3 million dollar land purchase at Pollit Park? Yeah! And it won't add to the failed WWTP!
25 or so years ago there WAS a skateboarding "park" right behind the civic center.
What happened to it and do they think things will be different this time around?
The writer is 100 percent wrong. South park drive is all within the city limits. The last two or three residential lots may be in the county, but the street is in the city. This is a fact. This is due to the crazy way that the city annexes. Their lines make no sense and their public works has no idea what is theirs and what is the county. I called the city months ago to fix a problem on my street ane they told me it was a county road. Come to find out...the city annexed it over 20 years ago and their street department still has no clue.
Andy will let them do whatever they want to do

Put a repaired street in front of my house. All our houses. Then we'll talk about it.
Well we already have the youth and civic center.
