On Go Skateboarding Day in 2005 skateboarders flocked to Love Park and so outnumbered the police regularly stationed there to impose fines that no action was taken against them. The park is no longer the skating heaven it once was since renovations were undergone to discourage skateboarding, but that did not stop all the enthusiasts from enjoying themselves there once more. As much as it may have been a protest, it was also probably in large part for lack of a better place to celebrate the un-official holiday. When the ban was put in place, a promise was made to build a new park specifically for skating. The promise was never made good despite offers from companies willing to fund the project.

The failure to build a new skate park as consolation to skaters for their loss is a clear result of the general lack of respect for the sport due to the stereotypes made against its participants. The failure to replace one of the great venues for their passion is partisanship at its worst. An end must be brought to the bigotry caused by blind belief in the common view of skateboarding.
