Built:
1998
Address:
Old Northern Rd (Lemke Park)
To
get there, just look for the main shopping
centre along Old Northern Rd
and the park with the big drain beside it should be Lemke Park. It is easiest
to park on the main road, in the white lines, and just walk down the hill.
There wasn't a tap there that I could recall from last time, but they may
have one now.
This
is another place that seems to have had a
lot of good ideas, but between the planning and the building, the costs
have been cut and so have the dimensions, legnthways. Everything is big,
or at least what would normally be a good height, but most of the ramps
and banks are very steep, really making you work for your tricks. A great
place to improve your talent, but not so much a place to learn new tricks.
As for the layout itself, there is a bank at one end, another smaller hip
bank on one side and a double step grind box on the other. Think of two
big steps with banks leading up to each side (pro comp style) all decked
out with coping and a hand rail down the bigger step on one side. At the
other end is a clover leaf style bowl, which is less than average shoulder
height (4-5ft) but has all together too much vert for something of that
size. It makes for a very interesting skate, but not somewhere I would
return to in a hurry.
