LOVE Park (PS3 / DLC)

[Sleeper097]

First up let me announce this park is not all of my creation, the orginal layout was made by ChasmJ(PS3) and I belive Taxableapples (sp?) did the Xbox version, I didn't ask for permission to edit chasmJ's park, hopefully he doesn't mind that I have, If he does then I will remove it.

The orginal version was made quite some time ago, before any DLC I belive, could be wrong on that tho. It was a pretty solid layout quite close to how it is in RL, not perfect but close enough, but the textures used were starting to look abit dated and I felt like trying to bring some fresh life back into the iconic spot.

I pretty much kept the same layout chasmJ had build, just tweaking a few things here and there, but mostly trying to update the textures used add abit of colour here and there and generally make the place feel abit more authentic and natural.
Hopefully my "LOVE" sign isn't laughed at too much lol, it is abit tacky looking but I felt it needed to be included.
The enclosure for it isn't the greatest of detail, (blank walls) but due to the size of the place there was no chance in closing it up with custon buildings, I added as much trees as possible behind the walls to try and draw your eye away from them being blank but I didn't have enough terrain meter to add as many as needed.
Some of the longer ledges do have an overlap due to being merged to custom lengths, I tryed to make them as smooth as possible but as im sure you all no know matter how smooth it looks it will give a little bump or slow you down sometimes, it's nothing game braking, just a little nuisence at times.

Hopefully any Philly locals on here don't consider this sacrilege and feel it does it some justice. I might get abit of hate for adding in the pink/red benches but the place needed some colour lol.

I could go on much more describing the park but I've got no idea if these little descriptions ever get read and a picture says a thousand words... so onto the pics!

I think this is actually the best looking Love park yet, the extra details really bring it to life and the LOVE sign looks awesome IMO, great attempt at including it and it turned out nice, really gives it an authentic vibe to me. I wish I was on ps3 and could skate this but good job man and glad to see somebody respectfully acknowledging the og creator while still making it their own. Keep at it man. :cool:

Why couldn't this be made on Xbox so upset. BTW this is the best love park i've ever seen done.

[OGBMX420]

looks pretty good , but that fountain should be a lot bigger .. im also working on a Love Park

[yumpancakes1]

The Love Sign is amazing that's what made it for me

[i am a snail]

also if you did some quick color edits and made an autumn version like chasm's other one i would be the happiest person alive.

The red lining pattern in the ground looks really good with everything, not sure if that's actually part of the love park area since i've never been there, do they give your skater any of those little god awful bumps when you roll over them?

Thanks for the comments everyone
@ iamsnail, i might just do that,
@ogbmx, cool man i'm looking forwrad to see what you do, you always make great parks, yeah i know the fountain is too small, I couldnt find a way to make it bigger while keeping it looking good without a lot of overlaps.
@notedderk, I based the red patern on this pic emmitbrown posted in the park request thread

mine isnt exactly the same, but just gives something similar, and they shouldnt give any bump, i used the wave deck so they are like a mini hump I guess, they should roll over smooth, only possible bad thing about them, as they are like are realy tiny ramp if you happen to ollie at the right point on them they do give extra pop so you end up doing 5ft tall ollies lol.
