sGet involved with your children, skatepark

The Sandpoint public skatepark is a great asset to our community and every person and business that helped make it happen should be congratulated. The park gets as much use (or more) than any other park in town and the kids love it, but the park is not a day care center and parents need to be involved. It is common to see 30-50 kids at the park with no adult/parental supervision. Only a very small percentage of these kids wear helmets or any type of protective gear, which is far less expensive than a hospital bill.

If you have a child or teenager who frequents the park, please make a presence and pay attention to what your kids are doing. Get involved — your kids deserve it.
