Portsmouth Park Dilemma

Mickael — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:53:18 +0000

So the City of Portsmouth Virginia has a dilemma. There has been $200,000 put aside for a skatepark.. which is a great start. But they may as well just dig a big hole, throw the money in, and have a big ass money-bonfire, if the current design is the best thing the City can provide. Take a look at this miserable excuse for a skatepark.

This is an insult. Especially considering that Artisan Skateparks is based less than an hour away. Apparently it’s not too late though. Chris Ringer forwarded us the following information to help get the word out. This is the man you need to get in touch with in order to voice your concerns…

Name: Mike Morris (Head of Portsmouth,VA Parks and Recreation)
Office #: 757-393-8481 Ext. 4102
E-mail: Morrism@PortsmouthVA.gov

Remember though, don’t be a douche. Mike Morris is probably a dude who is just trying to make the community a better place for everyone. He may not have any prior knowledge of skateparks. Simply explain that you’d like to see a design that is well thought out, crafted from truly durable materials (concrete), and that it would be great to give the job to a relatively local skatepark builder. Good luck Portsmouth.

Pump bump right next to the giant column in the middle of the bowl? Look out! It looks like most of this was filmed at the Brewery in Malmö, Sweden.
