Hi, my name is Matthew Schwartz. I'm 12 years old and a native Tucsonan who is a skateboarding enthusiast. I go skateboarding every day. I am a Boy Scout working on my communications merit badge and writing a letter to the editor of my local newspaper is one of the requirements, requirement 7a.
There are not a lot of options for entertainment for kids in Tucson, which is surprising it being such a large city and all.
I have been skateboarding for two years now. It's a great sport! My local skate park is awesome but in need of repair. The coping is very worn and we really need lights, especially with it being so hot in the summers. If we had lights we could skate in the evenings when it's cooler.
