The Nut Gang Skate Collective presents :

Petition for the Transformation of Kathleong Swimming Pool Area into a Skatepark and Multi-Use Facilities

We, the undersigned, are writing to express our strong support for the transformation of the old swimming pool area into a vibrant skatepark and multi-use facility that caters to the interests and needs of our community members, particularly skateboarders, BMX riders, and families.

Background: The old swimming pool area has served its purpose well in the past, but with changing times and evolving recreational interests, we believe that repurposing this space into a skatepark and multi-use facility would be a tremendous benefit to our community.

Benefits of the Transformation:

1. Promoting Physical Activity: Skateboarding and BMX riding are not only exciting sports but also excellent forms of physical activity that can help promote a healthier lifestyle among individuals of all ages.

2. Creating a Safe Space: A dedicated skatepark provides a safe environment for skateboarders and BMX riders to practice and hone their skills, reducing the likelihood of accidents occurring in public areas.

3. Fostering Community Engagement: The skatepark and multi-use facility would become a gathering place for people with similar interests, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.

4. Youth Development: Such a facility can engage the youth in positive recreational activities, offering an alternative to less productive pastimes and contributing to their personal growth and development.

5. Boosting Tourism: A well-designed skatepark can attract visitors from neighboring areas, boosting local tourism and potentially generating 6revenue for the community.

6. Family-Friendly Features: By incorporating a jungle gym and other family-friendly amenities, the space can cater to a wider range of community members, creating a destination for families to spend quality time together.

Our Request: We kindly request your support and consideration for the transformation of the old swimming pool area into a skatepark and multi-use facility. We believe that this project aligns with the evolving interests of our community and has the potential to enhance the well-being of residents while fostering a sense of pride in our locality.

We urge you to allocate the necessary resources, seek community input during the planning process, and collaborate with relevant stakeholders to make this vision a reality. Your support will contribute to the positive growth and development of our community for years to come.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Thokozani Ntombela
