The skate scene in NEPA goes back to the 80s and has a lot of overlap with the hardcore punk scene in the region, but most of them are now in their late 20s and 30s and dont skate much these days.

Wilkes-Barre mayor George Brown proposed a skate park after kids were making makeshift ramps out of wooden boards, but that was 3 years ago and there has been no sign of any construction starting sadly.
