Below is a link to the street plaza that was recently completed in downtown Vancouver, B.C. Reflecting the impact of media on skateboarding the park has replicas of famous skatespots as seen in many professional skateboard videos. From Miami's banked ledge to San Francisco's Pier 7 manual pads, it's a tribute to authentic street spots that are threatened or already gone. The park is a good example of a successful effort by the city, skaters and builders, to create a truly relevant skate locale for area residents.
