Local artists Eric and Mia have completed one of the art components of the new skateparks. “Skaters From Around Here (and Elsewhere)” is a hand-illustrated ‘zine that will be circulated to thousands of homes in the areas of the new parks. They are also available at local skate shops now. Read more here.
The first new skatepark in decades opened yesterday at CKE (Chinook Park Kelvin Grove and Eagle Ridge Community).
