Are they referring to a street plaza or what? Or is the plaza unrelated to skating.

Yeah, it’s a street plaza for skating.
Yeah Rayburn. Get your tamp on.
Wow, Hood River just became officially my favorite park. It was already up there after they added the new bowl, but damn!
I can hardly remember the slab of asphalt and haggard metal ramps that it once was anymore.
That is a sad sight. I’m glad I was able to skate that ramp a couple of times this past summer.
