Video: Almost-done Delridge Skatepark gets a test drive

Went over to Delridge Skatepark – set for dedication during Delridge Day on September 17th – after getting a tip that somebody was skating the almost-finished park. “Somebody” turned out to be crew members from Grindline, the West Seattle-based company that designed and is building the park, just trying it out. (Important to note – they’re working on the project; this remains a CONSTRUCTION SITE, **not** open to the public.) Major construction work’s been under way for a little more than four months. P.S. To keep up with what else is planned for the Delridge Day festival, in addition to the skatepark opening, you can “like” its official Facebook page.

    The skatepark is full right now! There don’t seem to be any signs on the fences telling people NOT to enter the only very loosely closed gates. Looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    That said, I can’t WAIT for the park to open!

    As of 8pm Wednesday evening there is a whole mass of kids playing in the bowls. None on skateboards, yet they are having a lot of fun……just sayin’.

    The fence isn’t doing much to keep kids out and they know as well as I do that hopping it just warms up the legs for a good session. Open the park early already, Grindline.

    I for one can NOT wait to skate the park. My sister-in-law once worked for GL helping design parks and they are a good bunch of guys. I wouldn’t mind coming done and testing the park for them during work hours. ;-) Keep up the good work guys.

    Cheers to ya!!!

    I’ve been noticing a lot of skaters inside the fence this past weekend. I wasn’t sure if they were official testers or fence jumpers but couldn’t bring myself to ruin their fun.

    I am so happy this skate park is here in Delridge. It will add a lot to our community.

Sorry, comment time is over.
