I would like the opportunity to work with the Van Buren skateboarding community and gather the money ourselves to build a permanent real skate park in Van Buren. The members of our community have no where to do what they love or to express themselves in a progressive manner. We could start a Charity too get the property and build the place we would just like the opportunity to do so. Please email me at joehfp98@gmail.com to help me understand what I need to do through parks and rec and how I can get this started us skaters can handle the rest! Fort Smith has 3 parks all we have is storefronts and sidewalks with no skateboarding signs keep the youth off of streets with traffic and give us a place to skate! What if one of these kids has the opportunity to become the next pro?

Many of us living in Crawford County are alarmed that Van Buren, animal control, euthanizes animals after 5 days if owner not located. Is there not a way to allow these animals to be adopted by members in our community? I realize there may be a need for some animals to be euthanized but not allowing the animals to be adopted seems unusually cruel and harsh to me and other people living in Crawford County. I would truly appreciate any input your office has on the subject.

I would love to see our parks and green spaces vastly improved on. I would like to see gardens, gardening clubs implemented for individuals to help maintain those features, I would like to see expanded walking / biking paths, I would like to see Lee Creek Park actually turned into what our penny tax was supposed to create. There are no facilities, there are next to no trash cans, there are no walking paths, etc. I would like to see our city park thriving, the road repaved, more places to sit and relax and enjoy the space. The Golf Course looks a hot mess. It's an embarrassment. And of course we need a community center with a pool and indoor facilities for our youth, a viable place to get exercise within our own community. I learned to swim in our city pool as a child, my kids don't have access to a pool. I would love for them to have the same opportunty as I had.
