>>even be athletic. When I was growing up, we played on

>>Look at Mt. View Park. When I go on my walks, rarely

>>Eggan Youth Center on the other hand, is packed all

>>That state board ramp was a great idea.

>>We need to update that facility, and build something
>>like it for the older youth, like 16 to 20 years old
>>that can get bored very easily being too old for the
>>youth center and not yet old enough for most adult
>>activities.
>>
>>I would get bored as a High School Student and between
>>the ages of 16-20 in Moscow. I could not enter the
>>bars and I did not play sports. Many of my peers just
>>partied and did drugs, or dropped out of school and
>>moved. More than a decade later, we have yet to
>>improve on the situation.
>>
>>I dislike most organized sports because competition
>>and the expensive equipment takes the fun out of them.
>>I think before we build out 226th place to play soccer
>>in a ten mile radius, we ought to give something to
>>the youth that have nothing to do before building our
>>226th place to play soccer in Moscow.
