Skatepark in South East London

I'd suggest referencing the skateparks in Belair Park in West Dulwich and Peckham Rye Park. These were implemented pre global financial meltdown and both were publically welcomed by local parents or residents. There was no indication that there was any impact at all on housing prices and it was generally considered that their presence had improved their respective communities. With regards to the Belair Park, local residents had commented that despite their fears, they were generally pleased with the users of the park, who were mostly courteous and little disruptive use out of hours.

I also recall reading in Sidewalk Surfer that a couple of families of promising young skaters had moved closer to Playstation after it had opened, therefore demonstrating that a skatepark can increase demand for housing and therefore local prices.

Great post TSK.

Hope to see you there el squire and all others who might be able to attend.

Call this a bump. I have nothing to say really.
