There are several skaters in the area of Tallaght and in which there is no place to facilitate us. Many establishments complain about us going into their car parks and going into places we should not be skateboarding in. These conditions cause us to go into unsafe areas whereas if there was a skate park, skaters and children would have a place to exercise and enjoy it at the same time. Today’s World Health Organisation study on obesity in Europe puts Ireland at the top of a league nobody wants to be leading. It predicts 89% of Irish men will be overweight or obese by 2030, more than any other European country while 85% of Irish women are predicted to be overweight or obese by then. The reason to build a skatepark in Tallaght is as Alex Jordan, founder of The Skateparks Project says, "Noise and antisocial behaviour concerns are common. However, in my experience, skateparks tend to reduce antisocial behaviour when their existence fills a demand for social facilities. It is also often the case that those engaging in antisocial behaviour at skateparks are not skaters or riders, and would engage in antisocial behaviour regardless.
