A word of advice from someone who knows about these things.......ME!!!

If you hear a rumour or read an article - get involved right away.  Find out if there's a rider/skater commitee and if there isn't then form one.  Contact as many different departments within the council as you think might be interested, like Parks, Sports, Youth etc, you'll be surprised, they all have their own budgets to spend and don't always talk to each other, you could double or triple the money available almost overnight...

Get the Old Bill involved. They love a youth project. Anything to get kids off street corners. Containment is the buzzword.

Do not, under any circumstances allow the council to use anyone other than a park/ramp builder whose product you personally know build your park. You will live to regret it. Fortunately for us, there are a few decent builders out there these days. Think realistically about a wooden park if it's offered. A maintenance budget MUST be put in place from the very beginning with annual refurbishments as a mandatory requirement.

I could go on and on, but that'll do to start. Don't sit back and believe someone else is doing this donkeywork, it's as likely they're not and the council don't like 'wasting' money on projects that aren't an instant success. Like a park that no-one rides coz it's crap...
