William Billings Proposal to reopen the Elkin Skate Park
Values • Opportunity for users to engage in non-traditional sport • Social networking opportunities • Providing a legal alternative reduces damage done to other public areas of the town
Liabilities • Supervision Issue • Getting users to wear protective equipment • After hours issues (graffiti, violence, etc)
Other Issues • Very specialized recreation area • Participation numbers are down
Proposed Management Actions • Cameras • Signs directing first time users to visit the recreation center before entering • Signed waivers • Required safety equipment
Rationale/Summary • Facility already exists • Management actions to reduce liability are reasonably low (around $300 total) • Liability concerns minimized • Reduce damage downtown due to skating
