A quiet morning in the ’hood. 28-04-06
3 May- New paving ’round the bowl. Pity it stops where it does.Oh well more money sometime eh?
New slabbing in the ’street’ bit;benches and a funky new slab bank!Jack takes a trundle while Callum looks on.
Hot off the giraffe: a sniper’s view of the park.
Want to know if it’s dry in Dundee?
Check the webcam: http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk
Remember; the skatepark dries out pretty fast if given half a chance. Bring a brush to be sure.
In fact; bring a brush anyway for the dust and small stones… it’ll be worth your while.
What’s the point in smooth ’crete if it’s covered in crap?(The wee neds LOVE throwing stones)
Dundee City Council run event: localyoungbands, sports activities, skatepark and ’Multi-Use Games Area’ opening celebration.
So far the local bands lined up for the event are: Chromakeyer, AVX,3 Times Round, The Valentine Project. Plus another young band or two, still to be announced.
Activities for those not interested in skateboarding etc. will include ’Street Football,’ five-a-side coaching, basketball coaching, and …?
The Corner – a local youth project will be there providing “Fruit and water” for about an hour.
Focus faeGlasgow – will be there asa temporary roots skateshop, proving skate equipment gear to buy, should it be needed/desired. (since there are no real skateshops in Dundee anymore… no, don’t mention that place.)
Local Councillors will be present too discuss various issues. (Hmmm… I can think of some.)
Radio 1 will have a representative there in the park somewhere,but I don’t think any celebs willbe unpacked.
BRING THE FAMILY AND A PICNIC!
Please remember NO ALCOHOL ANYWHERE IN THE PARK (that means the skatepark too.)

It was always going to be a ’Fun Day’ for the general public most of all. We have the park all the time, but they need to see how it should be used. There will be time allocations to different groups; BMXrs etc. and also time for the wee ones to roll about without any danger of bodies larger than 4 foot tall slamming into them.
