we support you...politicly


Hanover Area Alternative Sports Association is now an official non-profit organization. we are trying to get a skatepark in the hanover area so the kids have somewhere to go without getting a fine for riding their bikes. naturally, we tried to get hanover borough to give some land. not happening. all those unused baseball fields, basketball courts, etc. but they weren't into it. they kept making jokes about us going elsewhere to ask for a skatepark. what kind of impression does that give to the kids? "we'd like you to have a place to go but we don't want to do any extra work because our job sitting at a desk all day is hard enough!" lame. thankfully, there's townships that actually care. west manheim is the new location of the future skatepark. they are 100% with the idea and will give us as much as (about) 3 acres for the skatepark. that's about 600x600 feet. that's huge. it will be right in the middle of the new west manheim recreation park. check back here for future updates on the park. progress, how you can help, fundraisers will all be here

prepare to get slammed in the papers, hanover borough
