On Sunday it’s still Golden Skate Park

It’s a tradition older than your author, and one that’s still alive and well.

The Sunday closure of JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park brings all types and modes of human-powered transportation out of the woodwork, but nothing is linked more strongly to the ritual than the rollerskating at 6th and Fulton.

Local Harry Gregory put together a sweet video of roller skaters and skateboarders rolling in harmony in the Park over the weekend. If you missed it, or were locked in a cage, the weather Sunday was jealousy fodder for all of your friends back East. Harry and his pals got out there and enjoyed it, along with quite a few others from the looks of it.
