Skater Nation

It seems like there’s a day celebrating every sort of activity. Today, for example, is Go Skateboarding Day. To get in the spirit, Coventry Village and Public Square Group, a Cleveland nonprofit “dedicated to skateboarding, art and civics,” have teamed up to transform Parking Lot 15 (located between Heights Cleaners and Marc’s on Coventry Road) into a one-day pop-up skate park complete with ramps and obstacles. The event takes place from 3 to 7 p.m. and admission is free. After the pop-up park closes, B-Side Liquor Lounge & Arcade hosts an all-ages party that will include classic skateboarding videos, arcade and pinball games. There will be special discounts on food and drinks too. The event concludes with a free outdoor showing of the popular skateboarding documentary The Bones Brigade, An Autobiography in Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Park (at Euclid Heights Boulevard and Coventry Road) at 9 p.m. (Niesel)
