Jamaica has a skateboarding scene? Absolutely! Freedom Skate Park is Jamaica's inaugural street skatepark - a free public facility built to honor Andre 'Wildfiyah' Thompson, the 20-year-old Jamaican skateboarder whose life inspired a generation after being featured in the LargeUp mini-documentary JA SKATE. This community-driven park in Bull Bay showcases Jamaica's burgeoning skateboarding culture and provides free access to anyone wanting to experience this unique side of Jamaican youth culture.
