So, basically the story is that local skatepark advocates Pete and Brock contacted the city, and got permission to not only liberate this area for skateboarding (They removed over 100 skate stoppers) they also got permission to pour this little manual pad, with granite. Matt Levens, among others, were also very helpful in persuading the city to allow this to happen. Now it's a sick spot to street skate on the waterfront in Tacoma.
