Sign the petition: don’t pave Mount Prospect Park!

To our elected representatives and agencies:
We are horrified that you are planning to pour concrete to build a 40,000-square-foot skateboard facility over any part of Mount Prospect Park!
The multi-use green space at the heart of our park is used and cherished by our community. People young and old come to Mount Prospect Park to picnic, play soccer and baseball, and enjoy the park with their dogs during off-leash hours.
Yet without seeking input from the Brooklynites from all walks of life who use this park, you have put a plan in motion that could pave as much as 40,000 of the 96,000 square feet of central green space.
Green space is precious in Brooklyn. Our City needs to be more resilient and green. We should preserve and enhance the green space in Mount Prospect Park – not pour concrete on top of it. The plan to site one of the largest skateboard arenas on the East Coast in this neighborhood park is unacceptable. Especially in a borough full of asphalt, there’s no good reason to give up a well-loved park to build a new skateboard complex.
We say NO to paving Mount Prospect Park – and we call on you, our City leaders, for real vision and accountability. We demand you protect all of the green space in Mount Prospect Park!
