ABOUT

LOVE Park wasn’t just a city plaza where skaters gathered. It was holy ground, considered by many as the greatest skate spot in history, shaping skateboarding in Philadelphia, and around the world. Sadly, in 2016 the original LOVE Park was demolished, leaving skaters with nothing but its legacy. We decided to bring the historic skate spot—documented extensively through Canon cameras in the past—back to life through one of Canon’s latest innovations. Using Canon’s groundbreaking volumetric video technology, we made up-and-coming skateboarders’ dreams come true by digitally resurrecting LOVE Park through a first-of-its-kind mixed reality skate session, and made it possible to experience LOVE Park like never before: up-close and from every angle imaginable.

Then, we told our story at CES, through an interactive timeline that showcased LOVE Park’s glory days, demise, and of course, its spectacular resurrection, using iconic footage, quotes and interviews with renowned skaters and photographers.
