As I was putting these together I got a report from field agent Wes Cording that he had a fun session there today but it got rained out. Apparently there are several parked cars full of skaters waiting for the rain to stop again. Until then, here are some more pics of the opening day of Pier Park. Does anyone know what happened to the Nike SB team? There are links to more pictures from other sources as well. None of my shots are very good, but that’s OK. The Park isn’t going anywhere, and you’ll soon be sick of seeing it here on this site. Ready? On to Pier Park Skatepark Opening Day.

Yeah.. It’s a great place for little kids to hang out. It’s more fun to look at then a regular sidewalk. I didn’t realize it was made with Art money from Glenhaven, I was looking forward to a series of skateable art at every park. Good way to get more for your money. I think it didn’t go far enough, but that’s a financial issue I’m sure.

Art guy’s name is Adam Kuby. He won the commission for our “Percent for Art” money and built the curving entry walk/ledges. When you build a public project here, one or two percent has to be spent on art. In this case we combined the money from Pier Park and Glenhaven and a gift from the Wapato(?) jail project to make the project called
