A lot of people were bummed when they found out the historic Bro Bowl downtown was getting ripped up. But out of the ashes of the old comes a new hope and that is the construction of Perry Harvey Sr. park, opening April 2nd to the public and with the addition of a new concrete skatepark that carries the spirit (and some pieces) of the original Bowl. The official skatepark opening isn't until April 16th, and we'll be there in traditional SPoT fashion to break it in and throw a party to celebrate. The fences are actually down as of today and our friends at Team Pain are inviting everyone to come out and skate it for free. They built it, so we will come. Video: Frank Branca

Boards For Bros will have a tent set up at this event, so if you have any old boards that aren't broken, or even skateboard parts, come by and say hey to Michelle. She'll take your donations that will help with our Boards For Bros Give Day later on this year. You can also win cool stuff when you donate!
