Pier Park - St Johns Skatepark Construction  5: Posted 9-5-06: By Kilwag

It's been a while since I'd been by. There were plumbing problems with permits and and such that resulted in a lot of waiting around and a skeleton crew on the scene. BMX tire tracks have forced an on site resident in a trailer to keep the scum out. It looks like the permits are finally resolved and there isn't much to hold them back, except the hassle of calling everyone back in if it's even possible. Obviously, the pipe has been poured, but all the supports are still there as it cures. Some of the street has been poured, and a little more of the mid-sized bowl and deep end of the pipe. Still some work that needs to be done, but it looks like it should go fast if they have the manpower. ETA at this point is late September or early November. UPDATE: Just got the word from Sonny Robertson at the original SPS that skate date is set for October 14.

Other related features include construction series four, three, two, demolition, and the demolition session pics.
