Carter gets full props for the design, he took the ideas of Las
Vegas skaters and the demands of the City of Las Vegas and created
a place for street and trannie riders to converge. The final
design is what you see above. It incorporates
the street plaza concept with a back section of transition and
bowls complete with a full pipe, oververt sections and pool coping
on the rear kidney pool. |

Other
items we discussed were the ledges. He said that leaving
them raw like the Kettering Ohio DC Skate Plaza was discussed, but
overall the city wanted them to be protected to last longer.
So steel will be added to the edges of each ledge, giving it a
skate-park look and grind. We talked about the 10 stair
handrail and it's height. he said it would be 2 and 1/2 foot
slightly higher than a normal park rail, but not extremely burly.
Think UNLV! |

Timeline: The saddest part of the entire conversation was that
this park hasn't broken ground yet and won't until this time next
year, Jun 06, due to the usual bureaucratic morass of any city
funded project. But he said the money is there for the
project and this is the final design for the park.
