Editor:

Please install lights at Queen's Park (skateboard park).

If people go to school or work, by the time they can get there, it is already dark. Otherwise the only time they can use the park is in the summer when the days are longer.

It is time people start accepting that skateboarding is an Olympic sport and skateboarding deserves the same respect as other sports. So please install lights at Queen's Park. The community needs a safe, well-lit place to skate.
