Where, How Much, How many and Who is going to pay for those adults who need to be stationed at the Park to watch these kids. They can't be left alone.

No I really think they made the wrong decision. They dont want the kids to get themselves in trouble, but they do not want to give them anything to do. They put benches on the square for what? Nobody wants to sit and stare at downtown Lewistown. Now this community park what is that about? We need to give these kids something to do. Maybe a skatepark is what they need something new and different you know. Why couldn't they just provide a place at rec park to put the skatepark in? I just think that they should look at what they are teaching our kids. They are going to think that it is okay to promise somebody something and then just take it away that is just wrong

Lewistown is completely out of touch with the people,it is a dead town,the only thing left to do is bury it.

I don't think they made the right decision here, these kids deserve this skate park, they were promised this for 3 years , and they raised all this money --and then to be called rude and anti-social -- No -- these are good kids -- they just need a place to go have fun so there not hanging out downtown, and we all have are own interest, dont we? but instead we have this so called community park at the 5 points , being build so we can sit and stare at the brick walls -- that's money well spent -- yeah ok

I don't think that they have made the right decision here. We need something for the kids that choose this sport a place to do it where they are not getting yelled at, fined or made to ride in the dangerous streets. If Lewistown embraced its youth alittle more I do believe that it would be better for everyone. Look at the big sports stars, they mostly favor thier home town when it comes back to donating money and things. You never know where the next Tony Hawk is hiding!!! It may be a kid that would use this park!!
