Lights from the Space Whale sculptures shine over the downtown Reno city plaza as locals enjoy their passion of skateboarding. Small, yet so big, much like the city itself. Bringing a nice space for passionate skateboarders around Reno to share and enjoy as they do what they love under the western sky.
The Truckee River flows on besides the skateboarders, giving them another beautiful sight to gaze at while enjoying their favorite hobby.
Skateboarders come from all different parts of the city, ranging from many different ethnicities, but all are equal at the Plaza. All come to the same place to display their passion for skateboarding and to take a break from any struggles they might all face. No matter where one might come from, when at the Plaza, we are all passionate skateboarders or an interested audience.
The Plaza isn’t the only skateboarding area in Reno, and it’s not even close to being the biggest or having the most obstacles either. So why do many skateboarders choose this very place?
The Plaza sits where no other skateboarding park in Reno does. In the middle of downtown Reno, where many locals and visitors enjoy their early nights.
Believe! says the plaza’s other sculpture. Every time a skateboarder may fall and fail, a big sign that is hard to miss, tells them to get back up and try it again. Don’t give up and keep on skateboarding. Believe in yourself and the community around you that wants to see you succeed.
