The skatepark was built in April 2020 and was inspired by the heartbreaking story of 20-year-old Andre ‘Wildfiyah’ Thompson, who died tragically as a result of violence in 2009. Rémy Walter, founder and director of Jamaica Skate Culture Foundation, told The Gleaner that his intention and that of the other partners is to build more skateparks across Jamaica.
