To the Editor:

Beyond the fact that we should be looking for ways to save money in Barnegat as taxes escalate, rebuilding the skate park is a very bad idea.

Let me understand this. The park will be unsupervised and skaters will use it at their own risk. In addition, there will be no using the ramps when the equipment is wet or icy. But hey, icy and wet make it more fun. Bad behavior will result in expulsion. The former park was closed several times due to repairs ($$$) and vandalism.
