To the Editor:

I am a Boy Scout from Troop 43 in Bath. I am writing this letter to raise awareness about our local skate park. I am not sending a complaint about this park; I am simply informing you about some of the issues I have encountered while skating here.

There are many cracks in the pavement and pebbles on the ramps, making it hard to ride smoothly. I know these difficulties because I have fallen there many times due to these issues.

Putting a broom in front of the entrance could allow the rider to clean off the ramp they are about to use. Also, the cracks could be patched.

This could be paid for through fundraisers and other profiting functions.
