Keep it PG. That’s what neighbors of a skate park in the City of Tonawanda are saying to swearing skateboarders.
The skate park is next to a children’s playground in Ives Pond Park. That means kids who aren’t even potty trained are hearing potty-mouthed skaters….and their parents are pretty ticked off about it.
One mom said she heard the F-word more than 30 times in one half hour, just from one kid. That’s once a minute! You’d expect that from a biker or a Seth Rogen movie role….but a kid? Even worse, she says when she went over and asked them to keep it clean, they told her to….well, let’s just say they used the same word.
So she called the cops, and the kids did dial it down after a visit from the police. Now the city is looking into whether the skate park can be moved further away from the playground, just to give them a better buffer.
In the meantime, we can only hope the skaters do a 180 on the language thing.
