Interesting article (click click click) about Skateable Furniture - a range of benches that encourage skateboarding as a positive activity for youth to regenerate public spaces.

skate-able public furniture

By getting your switch heel krooks down on these you’re actually saving public areas from those who try to sneak under the radar, you know, “the gansta, the killa and the dope dealer” – It would be cool to keep Ice Cube, WC and Mack 10 out of your sacred skate space, no?

Well, maybe we could let Ice Cube chill with us?

Wow. You should send that link to the Parks Board…..give them some good ideas. “Skateboarders add value to many unused public spaces and regulate possibly dangerous spaces with their presence.” — it’s like the guy was thinking about China Creek when he wrote those words!

Someone send it, I’ve contributed a little to VSC but I’m not 100% up to speed with the who’s who of the Parks Board etc!
