The Throng waits…
Overview of the park with the throng in the background…
The throng and lots of curves and angles…
Nice air over the hip (Note, these bike pics were taken when it was a bit wet, so that’s why there’s no skateboarding pics!)
X-up over the hip.
A huge round of applause to all those people involved in the parks construction:
Allthe Dundee City Council employees who worked tirelessly to make sure the park was out of the ordinary, and actually delivered.
Clachan and Duracrete for makingsuch a good job of it.
Anybody that supported the project in anyway whatsoever!

DundeeConcrete.Com sez:
Respect the park!
Show respect and encourage others to show respect for it too.
If someone is doing something they shouldn’t: TELL THEM OFF.
It’s your park too! Don’tbe afraid to feel some ownership for it, and be protective of it!
Littering is forsmall-brained neds… use a bin, or take it away with you.
The park should be a COMMUNITY, and we should look after ONE ANOTHER, as well as the SKATEPARK itself.
Irepeat: Respect the park.
Thanks.
LET THE SHREDDING BEGIN! (for real)
See you there.
