Originally built for the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair, the Unisphere’s design is a representation of the ability for countries around the world to depend on each other. The sphere has remained in Flushing Meadows Corona Park long after the World's Fair and quickly become a skateboarding hotspot through the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Since then, the ledges, metal grates and other surrounding features strewn across the park have become a sort of skateboard tourist hotspot for skaters who travel from all around the world to skate in New York City.
