Reader Accuses Bill Jordan of Skate Park Neglect

 



At one time, the City of Florence bragged that its skate park was of the same caliber as parks in much larger cities. Now a reader is accusing Park & Recreation director Bill Jordan (son of council president Dick Jordan) of total neglect of the facility.

From a reader:

The Florence skate park just off Chisholm Rd. is about 20 to 25 years old. Since it was built it has had no upkeep. The park is open seven days a week and sees a lot of use from skateboarders, rollerbladers, and young kids on moto-cross bikes. Things are literally falling apart and Bill Jordan has not answered requests for maintenance let alone any new equipment. We'll be complaining to the Florence City council about this neglect in an upcoming meeting. Please join us.

Obviously a park this old needs regular maintenance. Let's hope Mr. Jordan puts this facility at the top of the list to upgrade. We don't want to see any of these skateboarders on city streets. What say you, Mr. Jordan?
