Skater boys and girls should head to Everton Park in Liverpool for a glow-in-the-dark experience. The Korean artist Koo Jeong A and designers Wheelscape Skateparks have created a new public space in the park, which radiates with phosphorescent colour at night. Evertro, which opens today (6 October), “is conceived both as an art work and as a fully functional, state of the art wheels park, open to skaters and BMX bikers to use and enjoy”, says a press statement. Koo Jeong A enjoyed making the piece. “What appealed to me about this has been the way that the entire community has worked together in a harmonious way to create this project,” she says. The incandescent public art work was commissioned by Liverpool Biennial and Liverpool City Council, in partnership with Friends of Everton Park, the Land Trust and Liverpool Vision.
