Trio strikes back at Skate Park graffiti

Jaden Alicea said he and two of his friends were joking Wednesday while painting over graffiti at the Coeur d’Alene Skate Park that passersby probably thought they were being punished because they were responsible for the vandalism.

But, in reality, the trio of extreme sports enthusiasts were so upset by the spray-painted graffiti discovered at the skate park earlier that day, they volunteered to take the job from city employees and clean it up themselves.

The skate park, tucked behind Memorial Field between Northwest Boulevard and the Fort Grounds neighborhood, offers concrete ramps and obstacles for skateboarders/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
