The Kanis Bowl was built in 1987. Some guys took it upon themselves to expand the park shaping the concrete into something cool to skate. The City took notice of the positive effect it was making on the park and helped with materials creating something unique that will last a long time. Its a nice way to work hand in hand with the City having people out here who really love the park and know what they are doing and City Staff providing support. One of the only reviews on TripAdvisor said "Nothing but hoodlums, must have 911 on speed dial". Thanks to the dedicated team of volunteers and the City's help. Kanis is turning into a very family friendly environment.
