How old were they in this shot from 1976??If they were 18 or something,they're too young to be granddads!!! LOL

yea parker is still there i live two blocks from it they resurfaced it but they hardly ever drain it any more i use to skate it in 87 but the people who live around it would flipout and call the cops so i think thats why they don't drain it very often anymore

Skated Parker and Landsdale on quite a few occasions in the late 70s early 80s. I was just carving on a longboard but some of my friends were blowing out the top and grinding the coping. Kinda hairy really. Lots of vert on those walls. It looks easier on the video than it was in person.
