Father of two pumped to use Tsawwassen skate park once again

Editor: While driving home from work last week I noticed the Tsawwassen skate park open and being utilized by spinning wheels of all forms. As a nearly 40-year-old dad of two, I was pumped up (selfishly for myself more than for my kids).

While driving home from work last week I noticed the Tsawwassen skate park open and being utilized by spinning wheels of all forms.

As a nearly 40-year-old dad of two, I was pumped up (selfishly for myself more than for my kids). I always have my board ready to roll and I immediately pulled off 56th Street and parked my truck.

It was such a joy to cruise the park and see everyone having a good time. I was impressed by the 20 or so people of all ages that were enjoying the park. I saw a friend with her son for the first time in months, and it just felt great to be out again.

Skateboarding is an excellent form of exercise, and it's inherent speed and dangers allow for plenty of physical distancing. Keep up the good work skaters, make us proud, have fun and be safe while doing it.
