Regina's Tiki Room skateboard shop celebrates 25 year anniversary
Article content Back in 2006, for example, there was a heated and long debate as to where an outdoor skate park should be built in the city. Ultimately, it was built in Wascana Park close to the Science Centre despite protest from area residents. “They were convinced there would be graffiti everywhere and tons of vandalism and drug use and all this stuff. It was ridiculous,” Wendt said. The committee tasked with deciding the location of the park was told by one of the 45 delegations that he would haunt the councillors from the grave if they put the park in his neighbourhood.
