I just got an email from Devin Parker, a local Queenstown rider who sent in some photos of the new Queenstown park. Here's what he had to say:
Alrighty after ripping down a perfectly good concrete skatepark and an amazing 6ft plywood mini ramp stage one of the new queenstown skatepark is finally open to ride!
its a "plaza" style park with NO transitioned ramps at all what so ever!!!
work has also started on the 9ft "swimming pool" style bowl with pool coping so at least we have something to look forward to..most of the park consists of ledges and hard to get to obstacles with jersey barriers at either end of the park.
the park has a very interesting design and it seems not a very well thought out plan with not much flow/lines etc.
plus the entire park seems to be on a slight slope (good for skating one way?)
i got a chance to ride it for the first time yesterday with Raine and it looks like a cool park to ride but we found it hard to get stoked on...
but at the end of the day (and not having had a park in town to ride since last november) we are stoked to finally have somewhere to ride.
and if there is a new park getting built in your town get involved!
Thanks Devin!
