 I've got a few pictures of the progress on our new skatepark. These are a few weeks old. The bowl is actually now fully set up with rebar and just needs to be poured. I'll get some new pics shortly and post them.













How bowl will look when finished :

 Lucky you. I wish I had one park like that nearby. I have nothing close to skate during the winter at all. That looks incredible!

 BMX Park and Skate Park
The new construction of a combination skate park and BMX bike course will cover 30,000 square feet, on an acre next to the Austin Recreation Center, near 12th Street and Lamar. Project design will be provided by New Line Skate Parks, a Canadian firm with experience in designing over 100 skate parks worldwide. In addition to activity and spectator areas, the park will also include a restroom facility, lighting, shade structures, benches or seating, water fountains and landscaping.

The proposed design of the park is viewable in .pdf version HERE and HERE. The design philosophy for the park is available HERE. For more information, contact Gary Gregson at 974-6726.

 Took some more pics today. The first cement section has been poured in the bowl. The street course has two triangles that have been shaped but not poured. The seating area in the plaza now has two leaf shaped metal trellis structures erected over it.

Pics can be seen here.

Latest Pics on 4-27-11. Starting to pour the flat.













The awning art is being finished on the second one to look like trilobytes.



The flat between the bowl and the 'street' ramps is done now.

 Latest pics. Two small sections still unfinished, but for the most part.......this park is on!!!! I am so ready for this thing to open.

You can tell that they are tired of people barging this park. They have put up a "No Trespassing" sign.
