“In the summer of 2021, Skate Philly partnered with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, to seek approval for a small-scale project at Front St. and Federal St. in South Philadelphia where skaters had been using an open space for decades, with no permanent features. With support from the community and the existing recreation center, we solidified a plan and the improvements in the space were completed by 5th Pocket Skateparks in November of 2021, with a generous donation from Vans. The space is now thriving daily, and is known as Front Street Park.

The park features elements of Love Park that were salvaged by dedicated volunteers in the winter of 2016. The dream remains to continue bringing some of Love Park back to life, with the goal of more projects in the future.” -Skate Philly
