Three kids push ACT to build a skatepark close to home
Logan, Wade and Sakora are aged 7 to 11. They are getting signatures to build skateparks in Macarthur and Fadden.
Three young skateboarders want to build skateparks near their homes in Canberra. Logan and seven-year-old twins Wade and Sakora want a mini half-pipe in Macarthur with gentle bumps, low stairs and rails.
The three kids want beginner-friendly features in nearby Fadden. Logan, Wade and Sakora have knocked on doors and handed out posters.
They spoke to their local school principal. Now they have a formal petition.
They need a few hundred more signatures to move to the next stage. Their mother said the trio have shown great determination in learning how government works.
