Renovations which include a skate park and a fitness area have been completed at San Francisco's UN Plaza in an attempt to deter open-air drug use.Major changes are now in place at San Francisco's UN Plaza. Millions of dollars worth of renovations have been completed in an attempt to deter open-air drug use.Permanent ping-pong tables, corn hole setups, Teqball, foosball and some chess tables - but that's just the small stuff.
"I think all the skateboarders, BMXers, extreme sports people were looking for something like this," said Andrew Torralvo who is a professional skateboarder in the Bay. He was one of dozens of skaters in the area that we saw Tuesday afternoon, the one who landed a massive ollie when we were there. "With skateboarding, it's going to bring less sketchy activities around with people moving around and it's not so stagnant around here, you know," said Torralvo.
But not everyone is happy about these renovations at UN Plaza. Those with the farmer's market were relocated across the street and they're not happy about it.
