Changes to Salem

If I could change something about Salem it would be to add a huge skate/bike park. All of the skaters and bikers could get together and help design it. It would be huge! That would be really cool, but there are still a lot of things about Salem that are cool; like the two skate parks and the trails out in West Salem. It would be a lot better if there were more parks. I think there would be less violence too, because the skaters and bikers wouldn't be around the bums anymore. There are a lot of problems between the riders and the bums. Mostly the bums do things to give the park a bad name. We don't like it so when we see them doing these things we get mad and make them leave which causes violence. There are a number of bums who feel the same as us. So I think with a new park there would be a lot less violence. It would give kids more places to hang out instead of being in gangs.
