A small corner of Leith Links would make an ideal place for a skatepark - it would be a fantastic spectator area as well as benefitting the youngsters from this area and before any so-called "Friends" of Leith Links start whining and moaning about disturbing the tranquillity of Leith Links then I remember the 1940s in Leith Links - it was an amazing hive of activity - Brass Bands in the bandstand, Cycle Speedway (with huge numbers of spectators) Punch and Judy and Kid's entertainment on Saturday mornings (loved those) then there was the sound of willow on leather at the Sunday cricket match and a lot of weird stuff up at the Duke Street end (Pony rides, Easter Egg rolling down the grassy knoll etc etc ) We have had a Skatepark in Livingston for 35 years and it is one of the best sports facilities in West Lothian.
