San Francisco's Civic Center skatepark has rapidly gained popularity among skateboarders since its opening in November 2023. Recently, legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk visited and showcased his skills in a video shared on Instagram, highlighting the park's features. Hawk's visit was a surprise to both visitors and city officials alike. The area was expanded earlier this year with new structures designed by Olympic skateboarder Alexis Sablone, contributing to its appeal. Hawk's post not only praised the park's upgrades but also promoted his upcoming video game, which will feature San Francisco.
"We were as excited as everyone else to see it," she wrote in an email to SFGATE.
"The UN Skate Plaza recently got an upgrade! If you build it, we will come... do vert tricks (and sloppy kickflips) on banks & curbs."
