Exactly. Now if a group of neighborhood adults wanted to walk down there and start throwing a fit at the skateboarders, I'd be OK with that. Seriously.
In our development we have a large skateboard park, and it's really quite nice. The kids use it all the time. And it successfully keeps them from using the public areas and sidewalks to skateboard. All without any public or police intervention. It seems to me that the best solution to the problem is to make these skate parks more available. And parental intervention.
