To Paraphrase David Wooderson In Dazed And Confused, “That’s What I Love About These Skate Parks, Man . . . I Get Older, They Stay The Same Age”

The PTA president quoted here nails it . . . the dirty little secret about skate parks is that these guys just never grow up:

In order to get into the skate park, one has to walk through the schoolyard; this is the biggest concern of parents. The open access has made it so that adults and older kids are often hanging out in the playground during the day, when young children are mere feet away, lining up for class or lunchtime. “While the kids go out and have lunch, older men are zooming through there on bikes and skateboards,” said Perez.

. . .

“People say ‘Oh, it’s only pot bags.’ Well, those matter. And it’s the alcohol, and it’s grown men riding in on bicycles,” said Perez.

“Grown men riding in on bicycles” . . . well of course it is — it’s a skate park!
