Boston: Lynch Family Skatepark in Progress.
The Lynch Family Skatepark is seeing some real progress after a ceremonial groundbreaking in 2014. According to WBUR, it’s a $3 million, 40,000 square foot plan designed by California Skateparks. It’s another sizable park built under a bridge in a relatively barren area. Enjoy an animated render after the jump, or check out some construction pics from Boston Skateboarder’s gallery on facebook.

Sloppy needs to get in there.
Is that a Sloppy Sam from Breaking Ground reference? What’s he doing these days? Love the bowl in Northampton, MA they did.
fuck yeah sloppy sam made the sickest bowl in saratoga spring ny.
that pool is dope , we used o drive down from montreal to skate it on a day trip. it was the closest pool to skate for us. now it’s in my backyard!
but the northmapton ne is pretty cool too and the town and people are super chill
I’ve always thought it’s pretty ballsy to build a difficult-to-skate backyarder as the only concrete in what is basically a lame ramp skatepark. Video of it: https://youtu.be/MX5uaifLFVE
And the park they did in Bondville VT has a bowl with what I find to be a very unique design and a head-scratching mini-tranny section that’s nothing short of deadly(and in a very non-skatepark setting – you gotta love Vermont): video: https://youtu.be/iHlTGKXfogI
But the Northampton bowl is spot-on: https://youtu.be/7DCbWhwFEOc
I bet all the NW people are like “What the???” if they were to watch these videos, but this is a big deal around these parts. When is comes to skateparks, the NE ain’t the NW…
