Provision for skateboarders in Portobello

very interesting thread. i, for one, think that portobello is very well suited for a skatepark on this side of the city.

as far as i am aware, the council has a fair amount of money already in place for a skatepark and have been talking about situating it in the meadows or inverleith park (ie they are not taking it seriously and looking at areas where residents commitees are going to opposed).

a few organisations already exist to put pressure on the council to get the thing built. i am not a skateboarder, i just dislike the council trying to kill off a sporting activity because it is viewed as anti-social among certain groups.

Great news for the west side of the city - not a lot of use to Porty kids though. A more central location, like the Meadows or Inverleith Park, could have served the whole city. Failing that, I would like to see an equivalent facility at the new Meadowbank, or Portobello, for this end of town.

There is going to be a big gap in the NW Portobello Masterplan if the library and community centre are re-developed onsite, which is what local people seem to want, and something like this would be a great asset.
