Opponents of Tony Hawk's Brooklyn skate park plan protest to the tune of 'Old MacDonald'
A group of Brooklyn residents said it plans to sing protest songs outside of an event featuring Tony Hawk on Thursday and call on the legendary pro skateboarder to pull the plug on a skate park that is planned to be built in Mount Prospect Park., which will be one of the largest on the East Coast, has Mayor Eric Adams' backing and was designed by Hawk’s nonprofit, the Skatepark Project.
The opposition has flummoxed some skaters, who said skateboarding is a healthy, inclusive activity that rewards determination and creativity. “That nasty and also a betrayal and it does not feed a healthy dynamic of deciding what we do with public space in Brooklyn,” Gorenberg said. His show at the Beacon Theater will feature him reminiscing about his pioneering career with another skate innovator, Rodney Mullen.
