A huge amount of work has been done to organise a world class skate park to be built in fremantle on the esplanade.
Recently a No vote scare campaign has been launched to sabotage the park. The final vote is this wednesday the 24th of april at 5.45 pm in the Fremantle Town Hall. This is regarded as the last chance to have a world class park built and if it gets up will certainly open the door for other parks of this nature around the city.
Hope to see you there.
Oh no my beloved Fremantle...with skateboard wielding peoples 
I think it's a FANTASITC idea...
We have a few skate parks in Mandurah and they are "ALWAYS" busy places
Hate to throw a damp soggy smell at the idea.
Other than the show pony segment portrayed on media, “Oh look at me, I am so good” syndrome, these places are the biggest breeding ground for juvenile crime and rampant with young people peddling crap to mates at same age.
Ask any local cop, off the record.

When i lived in my old place i took my dog training at a place with a skate park. Saw fights, kids (like 13-15) drinking and smoking, people doing grafiti, smashing glass bottles etc.
People might want a world class skate park at the end of a train line but its going to attract plenty of world class dickheads. Its no wonder the residents don't want it.
Big skate park just built in Ocean Reef and i its always packed. Often you will see the Joondalup Council Youth bus parked there, playing music and interacting with the kids. Looks good to me.
Small skate park in Mindarie/Clarkson and my son would love to hang out there, so i used to spend many hours watching the kids interact. Usually there were fine, until a few girls would turn up. Then the attitudes changed
Can anyone turn up and vote Beastsurf
Anyone can turn up and voice their opinion however my understanding is that it is the council reps that are making the final vote.
I hear the points raised about the anti social behavior. I spend a lot of time at skate parks and am of the opinion that the more sheltered and hidden away the park the more likely you are to have young crew act badly or as it seems to me attract the bad ellement. Put it in a high profile area with plenty of foot traffic open space families adults and a pecking order and the place runs itself.
Skate parks are full of fit young crew with a bit of of an edge. The scene reminds me of how surfing was looked at in the old days. I would not like one over the fence from me thats why places like the esplanade at Fremantle are perfect.
Skate boarding Is a fantastic for surf training and general fitness.
I bet we all have had a winge about boring old perth at one time or another.Well here is a real chance to liven up a dead bit of town and inject it with young crew and families.
Hey crew. It seems you can vote at the meeting. 250 against rocked up tonight at the anti park meeting. The kids need all the support they can get for the park. Fingers crossed.
The kids had a win. Thanks to everyone for listening. The good vibe from breezers prevailed.
Thanks JB. There was a ground swell of support and a lot of people put a huge effort in. We have started the ball or wheel rolling, with the town of Stirling.
