A whole park in one day/session and it's honestly probably the best park I've made. I gotta do this more.

Someone decided to build the entrance to a really nice art gallery facing a shitty sewage runoff area. Lucky for us, the smell keeps the security away.

Gallery Gates
First time I got here, I thought "that stair set looks like it was built for skaters, it even has a little smoking bay half way down for filming." Then I saw the mini around the doorway.

Dirtnap Hill
Erosion or wind or some nature shit made this big dirt hill smooth enough to skate. Thread the needle through the boulders for massive damage!

Alley
It's a pretty basic little alley, but it does have the benefit of a conscientious property owner deciding to board his window up with metal plates for the benefit of wallriders everywhere.

Drainage Quarters
Block up your nose, because these ramps are worth needing the shower you'll take to get rid of the smell later. The gallery owners are trying to build a wall to hide the ramps, but it's nothing you can't skate over.

The Triangle
Why the gallery owners don't just fill this up with quik-crete I'll never know, but until they do, it's a great little gap to hit. It looks like a snack stand was being built behind it, until my friends turned the foundation into a janky pool.

Smelly Pool
If you follow the water around and gap the drainage, you can find this awesome pool. Rock the banked corner to pick up speed to clear the hump, then roll back out to find something to block your nose with.

Skate up!

Ruben: thanks dude, the little ramp up and path over to the stairs was what started this park.

Somedude: do it! If you only skate one park I ever make, make it this one.

Old skooler: thanks! That bank is something I will be using a lot now, it looks beautiful and skates unbelievably smooth. I can't believe how nice it feels.

Buddah: much appreciated! I think stairs with platforms like that are a fantastically underused piece.

Ladd: I KNOW! I am awful at photos, I am sure more people would skate my parks if I could get across how they look in game. Ironically, I'm awesome at photography irl.

Mrsnomtn: thanks, I try to make sure I am making at least one thing I have never skated before in each park. I fucking succeeded like mad this time!
