The fence was battered down again (vandals on Saturday night), so I went into have a better look. Here’s the mid-point. I’m a bit worried about the pooling water. I know the main puddle is where the drain is, and that it’s probably covered to keep rubble out of the pipes. But the other spots… well, I guess it’s not too bad. It seems pretty smooth and will probably dry quickly in the most part.
Here’s the same point but a bit further up; you can see the drop of our Wallos ’sample.’ A mellow 550mm drop @ 30 degrees.
The exposed brickwork is from an old barracks block, associated with the castle.
Looking up the same bit…
Top o’the park. Looking down the main ’street’ platform, towards the blocks/ledges. Gonna be a nice view once it’s built…. amazing sunsets no doubt.
Looking back up to the point of the last photo, wall ride will be where the blue tape is. …My bike in the distance…
Here’s the terraced garden, where we will grow beans and tomatoes, and lounge near the fountain while sipping iced drinks under the hessian umbrella…
Just kidding, duh. The ’keyhole,’ under development. They terrace like that as they buildup the layers of compacted gravel. Then cut back into it to form the banked walls: 5 foot deep, ranging from 20-40 degrees; some of which is intersected by a 9 foot transition on the hip point, but all of the rest is tempered with a 500mm radius bottom ’sweetener.’
The garden still sounds cool though…just NOT in the middle of the skatepark.
View from outside of the Fence looking down ’Wallows’.
All those puddles have gone by the time Maggs took these photos later that evening… except…
…this one. Which will need some attention me thinks. Dunno if aquick skim, at this stage in the concrete curing would hold. I should hope the contractors will observe this continual puddle, and do something about it…
