The variety or street and transition-style terrain in <br />this skatepark makes it a perrect [it ror skaters or all ability levels and skating slyles. The <br />park features a complex bowl with a tear- <br />drop spine, pool coping, and varying <br />extensions. Surrounding the bowl is a street <br />plaza with mulLi-levels, stairs, handrails, <br />brick-textured banks, and granite benches. Size: 12,000 sq. ft. <br /> <br /> <br />Year Built: 2008 <br /> <br />The park was built on a site with extremely <br />expansive soil and water-table inches below <br />the surface. This meant that the entire park <br />had to be built above grade. My placing pre- <br />cast concrete pieces on concrete footings, we <br />were able to build up without major site <br />work. The skate elements actually serve as <br />retaining walls, allowing for inexpensive <br />benlling. During construction, the site was <br />directly hit by lIurricane Dolly. With other <br />methods or construction, this may have <br />wiped out an in-progress construction site. <br />Fortunately, it was a minor set-back to this project and resulted in no change orders and no <br />added cost to the City of Mrownsville. <br /> <br />Build ~Iethod: <br /> <br />Spohn crete pre-cast concrete <br /> <br />Unique Features: <br /> <br />Flow bowl w I extensions, roll-in and <br />spine, brick-textured hub bas, granite <br />benches and manual pads <br />
