    As a native Richmonder, (south side, midlo, represent!!) It's great to see some love towards some of my fave spots growing up! Def crusty, but so are we en general!! RIP Dominion Skate shop

    When COVID hit the City brought in dump trucks and dumped massive mounds of mulch over all the city skateparks bc yk back then they thought it was safer to lock everyone indoors breathing each other's air than be outside at skateparks with natural wind circulation... swung by a couple days later and the skaters had piled the masses of mulch into towering heaps, threw ramps on top of them and stuck rails into them, and swept the rough concrete between the mounds to create (temporary) obstacles to skate that were better than anything there was before... RVA is a hella gritty urban environment, these skaters are friggin undeterred

    Seen almost all of them being at least plus 30's inspired me to go back to skating, I'm 28 yo and healing years of depression. Thank you.

    I've lived in Virginia my whole life and had no idea how big the skate scene was in Richmond. We just lost our local park, Moyer, so seeing the great park and spots makes me want to visit sometime.

    Cool to see the scene so strong. I grew up skating in Richmond in the late 90s and early 2000s. These new parks are on a whole new level. All we had was Pole Green Park.
