Skateboards were tucked under chairs and BMX bikes filled the rack outside Town Hall as 16-year-old Chad Joines and a number of other residents — young and old alike — asked the council what they could do to help the cause.
“I want this more than anybody in the world,” Joines said. “I have nowhere to go.”
Joines, a BMX rider, told officials how he had been kicked out of the skate park in Ocean Pines and similar facilities in other areas because bikes were not allowed. Trips to Baltimore and Pennsylvania have provided him with his only opportunities to practice in a park.

As a life long resident of Berlin I welcome the idea and wish our mayor would show is much and Susie azan about this idea as he did when he came to the Coolest Small town in America... it's painfully obvious that no one in Berlin cares about anything that has to do with kids or the development of children everything in this town is geared towards the ability to get alcohol, drink alcohol and have a party in this town I guess that's what makes it cool..
Hey Gee!!!! Get off your bar stool and help these kids out!!
Guess gee will come up with another tax like the rain tax to pay for this. The Next time they show up to a meeting put a bucket in front of them to put their money in to pay for this. The
8;26,even if they came with funding old people will do their best to shoot it down.
7:54 While I am no fan of the mayor of Berlin (he's a democrat and they are all as dishonest as the day is long) how is it his fault that the private businesses that are opening in Berlin are all geared towards adults?
If parents want something like this then THEY should ban together and open a skateboarding park as a private business.
I don't get the mentality of you people who want the government to entertain your kids.
I'm in total support of this project. I mean, we need safe gathering places for stoner skate punks to congregate and deal weed. Don't we?
Pull up your pants next time you come in to Council Chambers. Show some respect. They do sell belts in Berlin.
