“Vienna should have a skatepark because skateboarding is awesome and Vienna doesn’t have any.”

Jonathan Mack fifth grade, Vienna

“Oh, yes. I really wanted to be in a skatepark before. My parents don’t know the directions to the nearest skatepark so this is the first one I’ve been to. If there was one in Vienna, I’d probably go to it each day during summer and spring breaks.”
