I’ve been a bit slow on reporting the progress of Dundee’s latest bit of concrete… but for good reasons I assureyou.
Now that it is cracking on,I feel a lot more confident in showing theresults to theworld.
Looking North.
Looking West.
Above: The East bowl… ok, it’sbasically flatbanks, but you can see the 1 metre radius ‘sweeteners’ at the bottom and corners to smoothit allout. Please note the grindy-kerb being cast on the top of the lip, on the right.
Ah-HA!! Street enuff for you??? The Euro-gap block / hip-thing. I put the dotted red lines in to show the remaining bank to be cast in.
There’s the curved flar-bar, or at least part of it. NO! it’s not going right there. It goes back to the left more, and up a wee slope. See the ‘artist’s impression’ below.
Should be skateable in about 3-4 weeks, max.
Remember: this was done on a bargin-basement budget…
Any more (genuine) complaints?

BTW: For those who missed it; here’s one of thelocaltoilet-papers’take on the matter.
and it continues:
Funny… all the genuinely local residents who actually live in the area concerned insisted that it was put there… and according to inside reports: are all quite positive about it!
Don’t worry though; the real underlying issue is a decade-old demand forsafe crossing points across this busy road, not the skatepark.
Oh yeah, and this happened on Thursday:
