LOVE Park? That's not a park at all.

Abstract:

This is a case study of Philadelphia’s LOVE Park (officially John F. Kennedy Plaza). This study aims to distinguish two spaces which are often conflated in the literature – LOVE Park as public space and LOVE Park as common space – elaborating upon the ways that these spaces are distinct from, yet also reciprocally shape, one another. The results shed light on the emergence of “anti-common public space,” a concept contributing to the ongoing conversation on the dissolution of democracy in public spaces by adding the ways that collective ownership, spontaneity, and difference are increasingly negated in publicly accessible spaces. This encourages critical thought into the role and potentialities of commoning and common spaces, which has been absent from the sociological literature on publicly accessible spaces. Doing so breaks up the binary between public and private, providing an analytical toolkit for wider-reaching, more nuanced conversations on transformations in the urban landscape.

Note on my methods: employed primarily historical archival work, using the philadephia inquirer, skate media, and planning documents. Also interviewed people associated with the skate scene and planners/gov officials involved in the redesign. Spent a week in Philly too doing participant observation at the new love park.

I would be very interested in reading this, sounds super interesting.

I came home and skated that spot with Cool Hats right after it was built summer 2017 and the next day a few people got 1000 dollar tickets for skating there.

Jesus! Is that because of that "No skating monuments or statues" ordinance?

This seems like a tactful way of employing hostile architecture (bum spikes, skatestoppers, benches only made for leaning, etc.). It actually does look like they designed it so people wouldn't congregate there. I did a park redesign for my senior project in design school and a landscape architect I interviewed, in addition to other sources, said how important it is for any space just to have seating. This looks like it was designed with the intention of keeping people from spending time in it.

No clue, I just remember seeing it on instagram. We had skated there for a couple hours the night before. There were no signs or anything. I don't remember who it happened to either. I think one of them might have been Mark Del Negro. I'm not sure the end outcome. I remember seeing a picture of the ticket and in the description part it said "Skateboarding in a public place." People were going nuts in the comments and someone knew city law and posted the fine maximum for skateboarding and it was significantly less so I'm not sure what the end outcome was.

Paine's is an okay park but it could've been way better. Whoever was in charge decided to use Grindline Skateparks (www.grindline.com), and Grindline is good and they make good parks but Paine's is probably on the bottom of their list of best parks built. With all that money they could've hired California Skateparks (http://californiaskateparks.com/portfolio/woods-residence-2/) or 5th Pocket Skateparks to build a nice all around good park
