The effort to build a skateboard park on a piece of land owned by the state at the southern end of the Mount Washington Valley Rec Path has been stymied by a lawsuit that asserts the town does not have the authority to give the land to the Kevin Peare Memorial Skate Park non-profit organization. The town is looking at alternate sites on land it owns instead.
There were 25 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: Where should the skateboard park be located? Below are the responses that came in via email, voicemail and Facebook.
