  1. Basic Designs You Should Recognize for Skateparks http://www.boardshop.com.au/

  2. Whenever constructing a neighborhood skatepark, you have to think of a whole lot of things - and the design is one of the most necessary feature. Here are the fundamental designs we should not overlook: http://www.boardshop.com.au/

  3. http://www.boardshop.com.au/ 1. Flatbottom Any skatepark design have to have at least 10 feet of flatbottom amid obstacles and opposing transition. Skateboarders create speed by pumping up and down transitions and might carry speed for good distances across flat, smooth concrete. Maximum flatbottom enables more skateboarders to skate together and steer clear of collisions. Recovery from the last trick and set-up for next is completed quicker when one can alter position or line across the flat. No design needs 2 opposing walls where a skater can fall in one wall and throw into another. Not being able to roll or run out of a bail often means the real difference between a scraped elbow and a visit to the hospital.

Transition Transition in between flatbottom and inclined areas is usually achieved in either of two designs: round with a perfect radius curve like a swimming pool, or banked with a tighter transition curve to a flat bevel just like a improved drainage ditch. Elevation of the wall to the top of the lip may well confirm the measure of these transitions, however the angle should not be any more than 50 degrees. A smaller, round transition wall, no more that four feet high will be skateable with a 5-7 foot round radius, while a taller, transitional wall would call for a larger radius of 6-9 feet.

  5. http://www.boardshop.com.au/ 3. Lips, Edges and Coping The edges of any wall, bank or skateable pool need to be hard and grindable. Skaters are trying to find anything to grind or slide on after they get to the top of a wall. Anyone can’t be on the edge if there is no edge. A slightly protruding edge will allow for a skater to understand exactly where they’re by feel. A round metal coping edge (minimum 2 " in diameter, steel pipe) that sticks out slightly, grinds well and protects the cement from wear. A big, round edge at the top of a wall or bank is unproductive and thought of uninteresting to skate for only a brief time period.

Curbs, blocks and steps function best in a park situation when used deliberately in combination with other components. Like a curb at the top of a banked wall. Another idea is to develop a street area faraway from any bowls or banks, or include blocks or steps into the surrounding boundary landscaping of the park on which skaters may sit or skate.
