No way was that park built by Grindline.
It was actually built by a company called 'Concrete'.I,personally,find the use of Tarmac flooring and aluminium coping ridiculous.
I did  lend one of the people responsible for getting this built a copy of 'Northwest',the documentary all about Dreamland and the parks they build.Unfortunately,it seems a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing,and he chose a contractor without letting me know.

yeah the surface is a bit naff with smooth concrete tranny's and asphelt flat-but hey who gives a sh*t!
we've got more rad shit to ride now than we ever had-beats riding the inside of a skip-as a mini ramp!
we used to have awsome sessions 4 hours on the most rickettey of ramps-like the origonal hertford ramps in the woods,dickie,jem & all the hertford n stevenage boys-dennis from hitching-used to kill it all day n into the night.
its a shame that everywhere you look councils are just filling their quoters by building another crap childrens -wheel chair pussy sk8prk,and once they've spent the money then thats ya lot!
-espeicially if its concrete-we're f*7ked!
like cantelowes-the bowl is constantly flooding because the ground bellow is water logged ! their never gona fix it-and if the land underneath is waterlogged then its all soft n shit and its gona collapse into it !
-oh well,never know -might make some big channels!!!
just gota get the fuk on with it-its england remember-bit naff!
it still so hard to get anyone to help out building shit the way we want it.
-even thiugh we all earn/steal money n a few off us have accsess to tools vans wood etc.
i know its a risk building shit when the chumps may come and destroy it-but sometimes gota take the chance-just like the rad homemade concrete park in london-its open air but how good is that!
its open air but got 4 more parks which are all quite good ,just 10 minutes from each other-fuggin awsome-north londons rad and no body knows it.
when i showed boma & ged wells our own indoor warehouse-sqwat sk8 park -they flipped out -so goo,been there for 3 yrs and nobody knows about it.!
-hardley any1 knows about 4 feathers indoor street course next to backer st tube.
-indoors,free,allways empty n 5 mins from all the west london spots!
-anyway im off nicking wood...........
