An integrated skate and public park along Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River Park designed with skateboarders for multiple uses: pedestrians, cyclists, and skateboarders will share the park. The project was proposed by the city of Philadelphia as an alternative to a 2003 petition to legalize skateboarding on another plaza, LOVE Park, which has a reputation as one of the best skateboarding sites in the United States. The project adopted the slogan “From LOVE comes PAINE” and proposed changing the name of the proposed park from Schuylkill to Paine, illustrating their conviction that it should take shape as a shared resource.

This is the best idea ! Obviously from a skateboarder point of view it's wonderful but it's also great to design public sitethat can be playground for 6 to(let's say)60 year old people ..

There is a guy name Rob Dyrdek who had the project to buy pieces of land in various cities and make public space for everybody but taking care of making it skatable so that skateboarders could have a place in a city.

It's nice that town are becoming more open for that because it's a creative physical activity that shoul be available to everybody who wants to. And without risking to get a fine if no arrested.

I agree with that, skateboarding should not be illegal!!!

This is just awesome! Finally a step towards a strong community which doesn't banish skateboarders. Philadelphia is repenting for the sins of LOVE.
