Something new for skateboarders in the Alle-Kiski Valley

The Skatepark of Natrona is getting ready to re-open on September 2. Through the summer the indoor park has been going through a complete redesign and construction.

Jeff Revilla of Blank Skate Supply says, "What we are building is very new and different for Pittsburgh. Instead of trying to emulate every skatepark out there with rails, boxes and banks we are building one giant mini ramp ramp with 3 sections that has street elements included in it."

Last Saturday I stopped at the Skatepark of Natrona to learn what was happening. The park was still clearly a construction site, but it was possible to start to picture what it was going to look like.
