Who would have thought that a skate park would be seen as a threat to a historic neighborhood?
I’m sorry but not surprised that the skate park proposed for Glenview Park has run into opposition and will possibly be built at Rodney Baber Park instead.
Sorry because Rodney Baber Park floods from the Wolf River part of the year and is hard to get to without a car. It’s a baseball and softball park on the north end of McLean just north of Interstate 40. It’s hard to imagine kids without cars getting over there on their skateboards, but what do I know. I came of age in the Pleistocene Era of hula hoops, pogo sticks and baseball.
I’m not surprised because I know both Councilwoman Wanda Halbert and skate park proponent Aaron Shafer, and I could see this one coming.
