Council Member Tommy Hazouri requested an update on the status of this item.

 

Council Member Bill Gulliford, sponsor of the ordinance, explained that he and a group of skateboarding advocates had toured a number of sites for a potential skateboard park.  There is funding from a foundation that has been identified and that is available to build a skateboarding park.  One site, in particular, that the group found alluring.  This is a park in Brooklyn that is no longer functional as a park.  Ultimately, the plans for a skateboard park would entail coming back to the City Council.
