WHAT'S LACKING?

A very interesting read about designing and constructing a skate park from scratch. (click on the link)


http://www.skateparkguide.com/design_basics.html


"A skatepark is an athletic facility. Designed and constructed specifically for skateboarders, in-line skaters and arguably freestyle BMX riders. It offers a place to congregate, relax and perform skills in a safe environment. Ideally, it should have a fence to protect spectators. Lighting is a great addition."




This is excerpt from the article. 


Protect spectators


I suppose this can also include pedestrians who needs to cross the skate park 'as a shortcut' to wherever they are headed to!


Looking at the current situation in Somerset Skate Park, I don't see this aspect at all.
