RIP 1978-1981. The skatepark is no longer and is now an amusement park, the snake run bowl is the only reminder that a skatepark once thrived on this site and is used for to house a plaster dinosaur. This park was a copy of the Buena vista Skatopia, but instead of brick extensions in the halfpipe, we had vert, towards the bottom of the pipe where it met the bowl, it got pretty gnarly. |
