Please see the attached flyer and media alert for a party we are having this Saturday from 1 to 5pm at Pop’s Playground in the New Kensington section of Philadelphia (at E. Huntingdon St. and Trenton Ave.). There will be professional skateboarders there, ramps for them to ride, music, food, and Boost is giving me one of those huge, oversized checks. Come out and have some fun if you can.
You can find pictures of the proposed mixed-use park and more information on public space and skateboarding on my blog (click the New Kensington tab at the top).
If anyone knows any other unused spaces we can transform and revitalize, please let me know.
Best,
Nick Orso

Tony Bracali said the amount of vacant lots in Philadelphia is equal to the size of Center City. And horray for progress in Philadelphia skateboarding!

I have been talking to the engineer from Parks & Rec. that know where each and everyone that is under their control is. I’m working on a large-scale vision of small elements here and there throughout the City.
