PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Skateboarders in Philadelphia are feeling the love from Love Park now that the mayor has temporarily lifted a ban on skating there until it closes for renovations. Mayor Jim Kenney made the announcement Wednesday during a groundbreaking ceremony for the park and welcome center's nearly $20 million facelift. The park is a skateboarding haven and Kenney urged skaters to take advantage of it until it closes on Feb. 15. He told skaters they are a "part of the fabric" of Love Park. He says granite removed during the overhaul will be used in skate parks across the city. Skater Luke Darigan tells The Philadelphia Inquirer he's taking time off work to make the most of the opportunity. During the yearlong renovation, Robert Indiana's iconic LOVE statue will be moved across the street to City Hall's Dilworth Plaza.
