A plan to create one of the East Coast's largest skateparks (backed by Tony Hawk's foundation) is getting pushback from locals who don't want to see the green space replaced with poured concrete.

So, instead of an awesome place for those interested in the exercise intense activity, usually very young people are doing instead of all (of what society says is unhealthy / non exercise) the stay at home things, activists IN A CITY are stating that more concrete is bad? Then move to the country you morons. Let the kids have a place to practice their sports. I've never heard of city people bitching about another tennis court, basketball court, yoga studio, 24 hour Fitness.... you know? 

Only the Times has the story on the pushback, all the other news results in a google search only have the good news that Hawk's foundation was helping to make some skate parks
