As skateboarding has grown in popularity in Hong Kong, it has also become clear that skateboarders lack proper spaces to practice, thus skateboarders have turned to recently upgraded public spaces like the Wan Chai Waterfront, Belcher Bay Promenade, and the East Coast Park Precinct.  As the Hong Kong Harbourfront Commission is currently considering how to better accommodate / manage skateboarding, with the potential for a new park to be built, we would like to better understand the community's needs.  Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Island in particular has long lacked adequate spaces for young people to play along the waterfront, and given the growing interest in sports like skateboarding, roller blading, and cycling, there is an opportunity to push for better representation in the design of new spaces in this treasured part of the city.  
隨著滑板日趨普及，香港缺乏滑板場地的問題再次浮現，而滑板愛好者亦開始使用例如灣仔海濱、卑路乍灣海濱長廊及東岸公園等新落成的海濱練習。海濱事務委員會現時正研究如果在海濱容納及管理滑板活動，甚至計劃興建新的設施，因此我們希望收集更多滑板社群的意見。香港，尤其是港島，一直缺乏海濱空間供年青人消遣。鑑於大眾對滑板、輪滑和單車等新興運動的興趣日益濃厚，我們認為應善用珍貴的空間去推動這些新興運動的發展。

If you consider yourself a skateboarder, or have interest in it, please fill out this short survey.  This survey is not a government initiative, and Designing Hong Kong is not affiliated with the Hong Kong government.  However, we believe undertaking an effort to better understand this growing demographic will help Designing Hong Kong push for more active spaces along the waterfront.  We thank you for your time.
無論你是專業滑板手抑或是初階的愛好者，我們都希望你可以填寫這份調查。這份調查並非由政府提出，但我們希望更了解不斷增長中的滑板社群的需要，共同推動海濱成為滑板友善的公共空間。
