BOring…
No news apart from the fact that Parks Management has issues with the place; fences, landscaping etc.
Nowt I can do.
Meeting tomorrow(wed) am, v early.
Will report back what I can.
Signs did not materialize today. Tomorrow perhaps. Even if they DO go up, the place won’t be legal without the fences. Mostly because of that gnarly slope on the south and east.
Nothing to do with the park itself.
It’s finished, (mostly) fine, and ready to make you earn your own carve.
We’re just not allowed on it yet.

“…Why gosh yes, your right, that is indeed highly interesting and mildy amusing. Thanks for that report Fred.
And now a look at the weather…”
“Good evening. Here is DundeeConcrete.Com’s Skatepark-Legal-Opening-Expectation-Time-Weather Report,
for Tuesday 7th of February, 2006.
Expect dullness for at least another week or more. No action allowed due to the large corporate council body rotating slowly over the proceedings.Likelyhood of heavy ’…Who’s Budget?’s around most of the coastal regions, and some persitant patches of Health-and-Safety in the hills.
Drivers are warned to use extreme caution along exposed routes.
The satellite photos shows many areas of sunny-skateboarding out over the ocean trying to slide in from the west, but that council-system combined with a wide band of fiscally-arctic wind, is not going anywhere fast. So those uncomfortable legal conditons are going to stay with us for a little while.
And that’s your outlook…” (big irritating grin)
“Wrap up warm and wait it out eh? (odd smirky face) Thanks Heather.
Our last report tonight is a fascinating look at the latest sport being taken up by bored skateboarders in the East coast area of Scotland around Dundee; Extreme Knitting!
Here’s somebody unsuitable to tell us more…”

9th. Fences are going up fast around the outlying dirt areas. The parks manager has the signs and will put them up soon.
Still official stuff happening into next week.
ALMOST THERE!
When it’s official I will post asap!

Feb 10th. Fencing still advancing. Signs are up apparently. There are some silly things that need done before the park can be officially used. Hang in there. Possibly weekend after this one… I’m gagging too, but can’t say anything to subvert council control.
Gillian: I can be reached for any questions at: daryl@dundeeconcrete.com
Would be glad to help out with any park-type things.
Traer: Wasn’t there, sorry. Haven’t been there in like… a year or something. Ain’t ever going again if I can possibly help it too! 🙂 See you at the ’crete!
*Everyone: Please mind your rubbish and litter in the skatepark!!!*
I know there are no bins yet, but don’t be messy arses… someone take some bin-bags, or take stuff away with you.
Respect the park, and the other park users (and the Council)will respect us!
BTW THERE ARE TOILETS ABOVE THE TENNIS COURTS.(hint)
thanks.
(not that peeps are officially allowed in the skateparkANYWAY yet…) 🙂
