There
was
a
grassroots
effort
that
brought
about
the
neither
I
exposed
the
need
to
rebuild
this
skatepark.
It
was
starting
to
deteriorate
in
some
ways
and
and
when
we
looked
into
it,
it
was
more
cost
effective
to
replace
the
entire
park
than
to
fix
the
concrete.
But
it
was
a
a
total
community
effort.

The
one
thing
that
makes
this
park
unique
among
other
skate
parks
in
the
area
is
the
bullets
we
have
the
pro-bowl
at
13
feet
deep
of
in
an
egg
bowl
that
is
less
steep.
We
had
the
throwback
features
we
such
as
the
pool
coping
around
the
top
of
the
bowl
and
the
the
pool
tile.
This
is
a
throwback
feature
to
the
beginning
of
vert
skating,
vertical,
safe
skating
that
started
in
California
in
the
70s.
Also
many
skaters,
preferably
a
concrete
part,
two
wooden
ramps.
