Skateparks: If You Have An Epic Design, They Will Come
Tonight Grindline unveiled the most recent design concepts for the Delridge skatepark, and it’s distinguishing feature may just be an actual living tree. Yes that’s right…a tree. When you are in the development stages of getting a skatepark built you always get great pictures but how ofter do they actually turn out the way they where presented? I am sure the living tree will stay and since Grindline Skateparks is building this park it will still be insane but how many changes will be made by the folks at the city? The images below courtesy Grindline Skateparks sure look good, I hope they don't change to much!
This is an overview of the skatepark. Notice the nice big bowl to the right and the street section off to the left of the tree. The seperation of the street section and the bowl are very important so you don't have the street kids bailing and shooting their boards into the bowl while you are going mach 10 in there!
The red banks of this planter remind me of the banks of Sadlands. In any event you will be able to boardslide around the corners for sure!
This rendition is from the street section. You have a small quarter pipe leading to a manual pad on the left or to a rail on the right.
The big bowl has a good mixture of pool coping and steel coping as well as an island in the middle to do airs over.
Another view of the street section. A 3 step sits over to the right and a small euro gap built into a mellow bank is in the forefront.
From the street, this park looks like it is easily accessable and has a parking lot that is actually close to the skatepark which is a bonus!
