Article submitted to The Central Record & Medford Sun

Thank you to those that read my article in The Central Record and Medford Sun.  Unfortunately we still need more signatures on our Petition.  Please be sure to have any adult and child sign our petition.  You just have to be a Medford Resident.  Remember, you may not be interested in a BMX park at this time but someone you know may be.

BMX is just as much a sport as Football, Soccer or Baseball.  The township pays millions of dollars to maintain all of the fields throughout the township for the traditional sports.  We are asking for one park for the Skaters/BMX riders. These children and young adults need a place to ride.  15 years ago when the children of Medford Township solicited the township for a skatepark no one had any idea how many children, even from surrounding townships, would visit the park.  Skateboarding and BMX riding have grown extensively over the past 10 years.

These kids are not sitting in front of the computer, television or playing video games; they're out in the fresh air getting exercise.  Take the time and watch these kids, they are really talented.  Keep these kids out of the parking lots; give them a place ride.
