On Shaky Ground
Fun Spot
Article describes the temporary skate park in operation at the Fun Spot near the Santa Cruz wharf. It summarizes the history of the skate park and the original Fun Spot, the popularity of the skate park with local skaters, and the delays in constructing a more permanent skate park at Neary Lagoon. It notes that the Fun Spot skate park is 6 months into its 3-year permit, and it is unclear what will happen after that permit expires, particularly with others interested in using the Fun Spot location for alternate purposes. Includes 3 photos by Shmuel Thaler and 1 photo by Dan Coyro.
