Should our suburb have a skate park? A skate park could give children and teenagers a safe place to practise skating and scootering, help us stay active and bring neighbours together for events. Some people might worry about noise, cost and where to build it, and others may prefer green space or sports fields instead. What do you think, would a skate park be a good idea for our suburb?

Sentence starters

  1. Because I think a skate park would keep kids safer, I believe our suburb should build one.
