San Francisco’s newly expanded skate park recently got a stamp of approval from the Birdman himself.

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk was in San Francisco on Tuesday to try out the new and improved U.N. Skate Plaza in the city’s Civic Center, and was seen pulling off tailslides, kickflips and ollies.

Hawk, the world’s most recognizable professional skateboarder, shared video on Instagram of his skate session, and lauded the rehabbed skatepark.

“The UN Skate Plaza recently got an upgrade!” he shared in the video’s caption. “If you build it, we will come… do vert tricks (and sloppy kickflips) on banks and curbs.”

The trip was unannounced, so the video shows only a few people watching him defy physics.

Tamara Barak Aparton, spokesperson for San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department, told SFGATE the city didn’t even get a heads-up.

“We were as excited as everyone else to see it,” she told the site.

The park first opened in November 2023, but was revamped earlier this year.

The park was expanded, and new structures were installed for skater’s to trick off.

The skating icon also has a new video game coming out. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a remake of the originals, and will be released in July. In his post, he noted the game will feature San Francisco as one of its environments.

San Francisco and Tony Hawk go way back.

During the 2000 X Games, it was there that the legend became the first person to successfully land a 900-degree spin.
