In between the Illinois blizzards, skaters have been braving the cold and enjoying some great sessions at the new skatepark in West Dundee. Once the weather improves, the final landscaping will be completed and the park will proudly host its official grand opening. Stay tuned for more details!
This amazing pocket-park features a raised plaza with a mini-ramp (with floating quarter-pipe), stair-set, hubba ledge, and rail. The bottom level has two paths bisected by a hipped LA High Bank dotted with manual pads, grind rails and plenty of ledges. The park was designed by Hitchcock Design Group and Spohn Ranch, and built using Spohncrete pre-cast concrete. Click the photo above to see more shots of the park
Even Dew Tour Champion and Chicago-native, Chaz Ortiz, is giving the skatepark his stamp of approval in this little montage filmed at the park in early December.
