Vinton Town Council plans to close skate park
The Vinton Town Council voted in June to close the skate area in Gearhart Park after hearing staff reports of graffiti, vandalism and evidence of sexual activity and illegal drugs at the site. There also was a report of "tags" indicating gang activity, Mayor Brad Grose said.

Since then, residents and skate park supporters have pleaded with the council for a reprieve.

Talk about the skate park and the reasons for closing it. Should an alternate site be found?
