United Nations Plaza in San Francisco has transformed into a skatepark, investing $2 million to enhance community engagement among skateboarders. Low Key Skate Shop, under Justin Marks' ownership, serves as a multifunctional space for gear sales, art, and community events. The skateboard community in the city has rapidly grown since the pandemic, encouraging more exploration of the urban landscape. The shop's walls are filled with skateboard decks and artwork, reflecting the intersection of skate culture and the local art scene, including featured artists from Oakland.
The number of skateboarders in the city skyrocketed during the pandemic. When everything closed up, skaters were able to really get around and skate, feel things out, and explore the city a little bit more openly, which catered to bringing in more people.
Low Key Skate Shop is a multipurpose space combining the Tenderloin's rich independent art scene with skater culture and tight-knit community, showcasing art and skateboard decks in a vibrant atmosphere.
