Anyone have any old school photos of the turf skate park from Milwaukee that closed down many many years ago. The bowls have recently un-earthed by the city of Milwaukee's road construction crew while working on a freeway project next to it. The area where the bowls are is not going to be used for roads or the freeway the city Is just using it to store vehicles and store the tools and equipment they are using. So now there is a huge petition to try and Save the Turf skate park. Some of you probably already knew this but for the few whoe didnt, have at it...

this is a nice park up in NH, lots of tranny, and the lights are on until midnight. this is like a 6 ft little vert wall thing.

this dude backtailed the top of this cone more times than i could count, it was kinda funny, never seen someone "tailside" tap the top of a cone.

The shallow end is like 4-6 feet tall, the deep end is 12. The entire thing is banked, and then straight to like 3 feet of vert. The deep end is burly as fuck, and then the bottom of it is beat to hell with 2 grates, big cracks, and lots of rough patches.

 

It's a fall/winter/spring spot, i do believe. i think they fill it pretty late in the spring, then drain it pretty early at the end of the summer. It seemed surprisingly chill when we were there, for how close it is to a street.
