Pawnshop skate shop is undeniably one of the raddest shops around. Between their tight ties to the community and all the support and events they put on for their local scene, they've always been on our radar as one of the most respected core skate shops out there.
And now they can add "opening a skatepark" to their list of givebacks, as Covina, California recently cut the ribbon on what the locals are respectfully calling the Pawnshop Skate Park.

In an article on StreetblogLA, they mention some insider info, "The new park is located at the western tip of Kahler-Russell Park, more commonly known as Wingate Park. For locals, it’s where the strawberry stand used to be, on Grand Avenue. This skatepark has been in the works for years, and seems meant to foster the next generation of Covina’s prominent skate scene."

The park looks insanely fun and definitely has a little something for everyone. But more importantly, the local skate scene—and community as a whole—is clearly fired up about having such a rad park in the neighborhood.
Big ups to Pawnshop, the city of Covina and every person, skater or supporter who was involved in making this happen. I'm personally itching to get up there and take a few laps myself! It's just another reminder to always support your local skate shop. They're constantly on the frontlines of the community, fighting the good fights, making stuff happen for the sake of skateboarding.
If you're in the area, well...what are you waiting for!? Get in the mix and have some fun. Just make sure you stop by Pawnshop and show some love.
