Park is done and it's pretty disappointing to say
the least. Many flaws and lack of co-operation between
planners, city council and the people who actually
are going to ride the park made it what it is.
The bowl measures about 8' in the deep and 4' in
the shallow. It's got sunken (flush) coping which
makes it harder to stay on. Way too much flat, you
gotta work it in order to get anywhere in the deep
section. The transitions are varied and a tad flawed
and you can see some future problems arising with
the gaps in between where they did the crete pours.
The street area is utter crap. Horrid layout and
lines leading into stairs. The worst thing is that
we had a great plan and they scratched it because
they wanted to "appeal to the youth".
Hey news flash morons, not everyone who skateboards
is under the age of 13.
Grindline was going to get the bowl done, but the
conservative and spineless chickenshit city council
fell into the police departments demand to make
the bowl smaller so the cops can look in there.
Better demolish all the buildings, cut down all
the trees and destroy all dugouts/bigtoys/bridges
and put up cameras on every corner. Yes, Orson Welles
1984 is alive and kicking just SE of Everett.
DIRECTIONS:
I-5 take the 164th St. Exit, it also says "Mill
Creek". Head east. Go about 2 miles to the
major intersection with the Bothell-Everett HWY.
Take a left and head north about 3 miles. Park is
on the left can't miss it. If you pass a gas station
you went a tad bit too far.
