to answer the question about it, yes the foundation is already there and its concrete.

the actual ramps and such will be made of concrete as we begin for the outdoor section until we get the donation money to build the building. inside there will be either custom wood ramps (depending on the budget) or woodwards prefab line of ramps and setups.
as of now we arent doing bowls because of the amount of work and material it will take, which we just dont have.

we also dont want it to be like every other park. we want something original that people will ride everyday. were also looking more in the street type skate plaza designs as with some small quater and hip features with wallrides and sub boxes and such.

as far as i am concerned with the foam pit, we probably wont build one unless someone wants one that bad then they can make it and we will hapily keep it at the park for everyone to ride

Haha, i wish. The townships main idea was to get both a golf course and skatepark because there is a lot of room. If donations are made maybe we could get the skatepark in a building, but i highly doubt it is'nt. The 6 people go to the Council meeting on the 14th and we give them an idea of what the park will look like.

im liking alot of those ramps madis. definitely gotta use some. but i doubt the bigger qps oververt and 12 halfpipe will happen because were bascically trying to make a park that everyone will want to ride every peice of. the sairset and quarter up top and the wallrides and stuff are sick.

i think these will definitely be a possibilty:

Just going by what you said Eric, if there is already a foundation it will be way out of your budget to do any concrete because you will have to build it all above ground and usually when you do concrete you put it below ground and dig it out which you wont be able to do.

Madis's park is pretty nuts, I'd definitely ride that. The good thing about it is it has a balanced amount of beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain.

I definitely would not design an entire park around a beginners needs because it will get old fast and no one will have any room to progress. But I can understand starting small.

O, and an outdoor foam pit is a really really dumb idea. I would have donated mine when I got ride of it like a month ago but that is pretty far away, ha. But yea foam is expensive and does not last long at all in the weather.

I can still draw a park if you guys want to see something but I probably really don't have the time and I doubt I can think of much more than Madis already did.

Please design something, but do'nt design a whole park because skaters and bikers are putting there in put on what they would like to ride so i guess design something that scooter riders would ride but not a whole park of what we would ride.

yes any and all ideas will help and i imagine because of budgeting, to make the most of what we have, well get more ramps for the money if we go with pre-fab stuff. but that bank/table/pyramid thing whatever with the wallrides that madis made, ill probly attempt to make it myself as a little project for the beginning of summer

Exactly my point. There is always room to progress to something new and bigger.
Plus, you can see endless lines, and even some 4-8ft gaps from quarters to banks, 45-degree hips etc.

Parks are parks for a reason. Because there is perfect tranny and nothing you can find on the streets. Street parks get old fast because one of the whole points of riding street is searching for new original spots not a stair set in a public park.
