The Amity skatepark is in dire need of help: more participation and better equipment.

To reach that end, a meeting is being held Jan. 12 at the Villa at Morlatton in Douglassville, Route 422 east, for skaters, bikers, parents and other interested citizens to develop ideas to raise funds and improve the park.

"If we don't take care of what we have, we could lose it! If we want more equipment, we need to get participation in planning and organizing fundraisers to get more," reads a press release sent out by the meeting organizers.

The meeting will start at 7 p.m. For more information, visit http://amityskatepark.homestead.com/
