SKATEPHILLY

But Skatephilly is much more than Paine's Park. The mission continues to keep Philadelphia front and center on the skateboarding world stage. Our new chapter as SkatePhilly signals a shift. We got what we worked so hard for in Paine's Park, but we now strive to bring Love Park's absence full circle by paying homage to the Love Park of yesteryear. We continue to work aggressively, with city officials, planners, donors and friends, to find a new home for the numerous tons of original Love Park granite we managed to preserve. While Love can't be replaced, we intend to give that granite a worthy home and at least partly restore the park's impact on the city and reinvigorate the skate community responsible for its prominence... Skate Philly is dedicated to connecting communities through skateboarding. The organization seeks to transform and revitalize urban landscapes by building free, public skateparks that bring together and celebrate the City of Philadelphia's rich skateboarding culture..
