CHICO, Calif. – The Humboldt Avenue Skate Park was open again today after a three day closure for graffiti removal.

Graffiti is allowed in designated areas including the bathroom facilities and the art wall along the back of the park. Schumann says the park is only closed for painting when graffiti is painted on skating surfaces, or when the content is profane or violent.
