Despite problems with bullying, graffiti and other Municipal Code violations at the Brandon Koch Memorial Skate Park during its opening last August, conditions at the skaters’ haven have improved significantly just in time for summer. Last year, safety concerns at the skate park, which also included lack of parental supervision and skaters who refused to wear safety gear, led parks department Superintendent Erik Schulze then-Acting Police Chief Nino Amirfar to host a pair of community meetings at the park. There, the two city leaders reminded skaters and their parents about the park’s rules and regulations.
