There are also many skateboarders in the area, “but they didn’t have any place” to skate, said Ed Wendell, president of the Woodhaven Residents Block Association. Wendell said in the past, local skateboarders would hang out at a nearby Pathmark parking lot two blocks from the park, or they would just skate in the street. “Anything that you can put together for young people is a good thing,” Wendell said.
