Unit 2

"Park History" louisvilleky.gov. n.d.

This article is about the history of the Louisville Skate park/ Extreme Park.  It explains how the park came to be, the established date, what precautions that were taken post due to the skate park being made,  and the opening of the Louisville KY Skate park.  The Author of the article is unknown but it was posted by the louisivlle.gov website.  Since this is only the history of the Louisville Skate park it has no voice yet, I managed to pull somewhat of a quote out of the text. "Local government officials recognized the need for a place where children and young professionals could practice their skills without disrupting business."  I believe this quote works with my piece because that is where the skate park originated from, ideas, and people thoughts about the youth which is amazing.  The skate park has brought a lot of people together over the 9 years it has been up and running. 

I could use this text in further research but, the text definitely has some room for updating. I cant tell when the text was posted but a lot has happened in the 9 years it has opened for example: the Skate parks bathrooms are closed and when the park first opened they weren’t done remodeling the main bowl section, and I don’t know if anyone else cares but I would like to know where the advertisement for the public input sessions about the park in 2000 were aired at (lol I was only 9 at the time). I still think its some useful information.
