even though I am a little away from these jumps, I do believe that council should go ahead with their plans to make this happen

Until very recently we lived around the corner from these jumps. The kids love them. It gets them outside and did no harm to anyone. Healthier than staying in doors

I take my Grandchildren to Lantana Park. It wasn't there for my kids 40 years ago. It important on so many levels. Community together is a big one. Please keep all the parks safe and encourage our teenagers to look after what is there for their future.

Today our children have fun and good exercise with these small tracks and jumps, also learning skill levels most would dream of attaining.

(Engadine, 2018-05-14)

I believe the jumps should stay. Give our kids area to play, exercise and be healthy

(Engadine, 2018-05-14)

Children need these areas to be creative and to engage in some risky play. They do not find fixed equipment challenging or entertaining in their pre and early teens. These jumps are teaching children to work together and support each other while they are out there getting exercise.

(Woronora Heights, 2018-05-14)

It gets our kids outside enjoying some fun and exercise.

(Engadine, 2018-05-14)

I'm signing because kids need fresh air, exercise, freedom and imagination. They need to learn common sense and the jumps will help with all the above.

(Engadine, 2018-05-14)

#235

The kids have shown initiative to build these. Let's support them being outside rather than inside on their iPads.

(Engadine, 2018-05-14)

Nothing brings more joy than to see and hear young kids having fun in the great outdoors. Come on neighbors let’s get behind this and keep the jumps for our kids.

(Yarrawarrah, 2018-05-14)

I am supportive, on the condition that appropriate safety measures can be put in place to ensure that the children do not pose a hazard to themselves or motorists. I also note that there rarely appears to be any parental supervision of the children.

(Engadine, 2018-05-14)

#243

Children need outdoor activities where they can learn to play, socialise with peers and be fit & healthy, not stuck indoors behind a screen. Sutherland shire is already lacking those activities for older children, don't take away their jumps!

It’s so important for the children to have a local outdoor activity that is available to them any time they choose to use it. One which they have a real interest in .

(Sydney, 2018-05-15)

(Engadine, 2018-05-15)

(Sydney, 2018-05-15)

#270

It is a very popular, harmless and healthy activity that so many local children enjoy doing everyday. The space where the kids are building the jumps was never used before.

(Engadine, 2018-05-15)

(Sydney, 2018-05-15)

#278

Kids should be allowed to be kids. Everyone wants our kids to not be stuck inside on technology all the time so give them a chance at some outdoor fun.

(Heathcote, 2018-05-15)

#282

It’s far more healthy to see our kids out riding bikes than indoors on iPads. Harmless fun, just need some rules in place for respect to neighbours.

(Sydney, 2018-05-15)

#283

(Sydney, 2018-05-15)

Kids need to play. MTB is a great activity. Building strength and confidence. Turnover for local businesses and jobs near home.

(Willoughby East, 2018-05-15)

#290

I think kids should be able to enjoy the outdoors and let them learn new skills and develop themselves.
I would much prefer my child out in the fresh air exercising than being inside on a computer. Keep the jumps for all.

Please don't take these jumps away. This is what children should be doing, riding bikes and playing outdoors. It's what being a kid is an about

I have been a resident near Geneva place Reserve for six years and no one used this small parcel of council land which had no other purpose up until the jumps were built. It is great to see the kids riding and hanging out together there, They are not setting fire to the picnic shelter or cutting down trees or destroying property. To those wingers who are complaining! Let them be kids and ride and play outdoors as this is healthy stuff, you were young once! Or have you forgotten those fun days?

(Engadine, 2018-05-15)

#307

Let’s encourage kids to be outdoors, active and creative. Meet your neighbours and trust the kids.

More kids should be outside enjoying the fresh air and exercising instead of stuck in front of screens.

(Emgadine, 2018-05-15)

#333

Every child deserves a chance to be outside and enjoy whatever they love doing. My three second cousins are in this lot of children who live in this area of Engadine and I think that to be able to have an area like this is so beneficial to their health and well being.

Engadine resident- my boys love riding these jumps in the natural Bushland!

(Sydney, 2018-05-15)

#339

The kids love the jumps and I’m glad they can do it close to home and in a safe neighbourhood

(Engadine, 2018-05-15)

#340

Please keep these jumps. The boys have worked so hard & it’s keeping them active, outdoors, with their mates...everything we valued from our own childhood. Why take it away because of some cranky resident that’s probably never used the reserve & won’t even if the jumps were destroyed! How can council take it away when they said they could have it?! Not fair!!!!

(Engadine, 2018-05-15)

(Woronora Heights, 2018-05-15)

(Engadine, 2018-05-16)

#376

My grandchildren ride at these jumps everyday. So many people support this activity and appreciate all of the benefits. In this rapidly changing world we should encourage this activity and motivation from the next generation. Why should a few naysayers ruin it for everyone else. We all pay rates. !!

Children need to play outside in fresh air, burning pent up energy built up during the day, it’s great for their social skills, and for their health. And makes them sleep better. Kids being kids. There is nothing better than hearing the sounds of kids voices, playing outside and having fun!

(Woronora Heights, 2018-05-17)

#384

I'm signing because children need and should be outside playing and doing these sorts of things. It's what we did as kids too. I built jumps up at Lantana Park with my friends and it was a great way to spend weekends.
