Ryan Neptune of Planet is GIVING the community of Eagle, Idaho a $1 million urban terrain park. But county commissioners are trying to block it, saying it doesn't fit their vision. (I think they were thinking baseball fields). Please sign ASAP in support of the terrain park. Thanks! http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/terrainpark

When you sign it, say you are from somewhere near where it is being built.

Posted to facebook in case any of my friends are cool. Everybody likes terrain parks, even if they're thousands of miles away.

Awesome idea to post to Facebook & ask your friends to sign. This park will also include a tubing hill so even your friends who don't ski/snowboard can have fun. Success breeds success & your town could eventually have one of these if this is allowed to be built. (We're up to almost 1,000 signatures in just a few days). BTW, here's a guy who says "recreation" means "free." Just another attempt to block this terrain park: http://www.ktvb.com/video?id=225294272&sec=550617

Figured out why they don't want it.

The county commissioner's brother-in-law is the GM of Bogus Basin, the local mountain. He's getting' scared because he thinks his wife's brother is gonna lose money. What a bunch of bullshit.

News story about the terrain park & county commissioners who are putting on the brakes. http://www.kivitv.com/news/local/No-parking-225455892.html

PS- All of the cc's questions have been answered. Liability issues have been solved. Ada County is covered. And there are already several examples of concessionaires operating on county land. So what's the real reason?

Now Ada County Commissioners also stopped Gravity Logic from designing/building a sick flow trail for mountain bikes on the land adjacent to the planned terrain park! Does their vision not include mountain biking either???

Fun wreckers strike again, shutting down the building of a fun bike trail being designed by an expert from Whistler & built by Gravity Logic.

County Commissioners lift stop-work ban, so Gravity Logic can resume building flow bike trail, but terrain park still being blocked. Please sign & share petition for terrain park. Thanks! http://www.ktvb.com/news/politics/Ada-County-lifts-stop-work-order-at-Sports-Complex-226553281.html

Letter to the editor in today's Idaho Statesman from Kim Micinski, US Freeski Rookie Team Member, Alexi Micinski's Mom:

Eagle park

Sochi 2014! The Winter Olympics are just around the corner (February 2014) and there’s a new kid in town. We’ve enjoyed freeskiing (halfpipe and slope-style) watching X Games and now they will be a part of the Olympics. The proposed Gateway Park in Eagle is a gateway to learning to ski and board and having all the fun of freeskiing. After the kids watch the Olympics, freeskiing is going to explode! It will be so exciting to head to the new Gateway Park to try those awesome tricks and then venture up to Bogus to try them on the “big hill.”

We’ve seen the articles in the Statesman and the news reports on local stations. Many of us have attended the Eagle City Council meetings and learned about the park. It’s clear to see that the Eagle City Council researched the park and its advantages and disadvantages (if there are any) carefully. Ryan Neptune has patiently and thoroughly explained his plan. Gateway Park is a recreational win for the residents of Ada County.

Get involved. Let the Ada County commissioners know you support Gateway Park. Email them at bocc1@adaweb.net.

KIM MICINSKI, Meridian
