Fresh Crete - XXL

Found this while looking for skateboarding videos on the web…The World’s Largest Skatepark. Over 140,000 sqare feet of terrain, almost 5 times the size of Mecca…I mean Newberg. It should get a lot of use too - it’s in the largest country in the world. The plans are pretty slick (maybe a bit stiff and geometric), with a little bit of everything…

Key features include a massive 1400 sq/m bowl that includes a 20m long full pipe and a 50m wide vert ramp. Within the main central skate park space there is over 7400 sq/m of bowl and park terrain with an additional 2000 sq/m competition area.

To the sides of the skatepark proper, over 4000 sq/m of skateable Chinese granite pavement provides seating terraces, access ways, shaded viewing zones and a multitude of street skating opportunities.

The Convic site has some cool 3d renderings and a cool video fly-through, Trasher has some construction pics, and there are lots of construction photos at the SMP site. I like the cradle that is set up sort of like a love seat.
