That is a skate park built in a huge former steel fabricating facility. The cropping of the photos doesn’t do justice to how big the place was. You’re seeing about a 5th of that bowl. The kid on the skateboard is my son. He was about 8 years old at the time. We got there early one morning and my son had the place to himself for hours. This skate park is long gone.

Thanks for the info, Bill. They build the bowls of wood? That sounds like a mighty expensive undertaking.

They’re built with wood and then covered with a skateboard-friendly veneer of a wood-like material.
