Officials in California are fed up with skaters violating stay-at-home orders, so they dumped 37 TONS OF SAND into a popular park to stop the illegal boarding.
San Clemente had shut down all its parks and facilities on April 1 under the state’s stay-at-home orders, but skaters ignored signs warning against trespassing at the Ralphs Skate Court, 241 Avenida La Pata.

So, officials decided to take matters into their own hands. According to CBS Los Angeles, authorities dropped thousands of pounds of sand this week to make sure people adhere to the orders.

Of course, California residents have been urged to self-isolate as much as possible since mid-March. Government officials have closed down just about everything in the state to slow the spread of coronavirus.
In fact, other skate parks in the Los Angeles area are already following San Clemente’s lead, with a popular skate place in Venice filling up with sand Thursday as well.
