Fall/Winter

Wow, it's been a long time since we've posted. We haven't had enough light to hold any more build days, but we'll be re-layering most of the ramps and painting in the coming weeks. Pedal Power will be coming by soon to stencil up the ramps and beautify the park. Thanks to Ruth Plummer and the Parks & Rec. the park will be lit from 4pm-9pm until the Winter freeze begins. Take advantage of the Fall weather and get out and ride/skate!

The Park is Done...

Well all the ramps are complete. Now it's time for the dirty work, fine tuning the oldest of the ramps that were built back in April, painting the entire park with sealant, and putting up some safety railings. Last night was a very successful build night and we got a ton accomplished. Thanks to all the kids for busting their butts well into the night, especially now that school has begun. A huge thank you to the adult volunteers for working swiftly, but safely, to get a ton done last night and staying till 9PM to do so! We've made a lot of progress this year guys...awesome!!!

Keep your eyes peeled on Friday, the News Bulletin newspaper is supposed to have a brief article about the park and our generous sponsors, Parks & Rec. and Pedal Power.

Build Night

We'll be building at the Belltown Skatepark Wednesday from 6-dark. Due to people being on vacation, and a rain out last week, we haven't worked at the park in 3 weeks. We're planning on completing the mini ramp.

Update!

Wow, it's been a long time since we posted something. People have been on vacation, we've been getting rained on, and it's Summer time! The new mini ramp at the park in under construction and should be finished by the end of August. We'll be applying more of the "Pedal Power Maroon" sealant to protect the park from the elements and keep stuff dry. Please join us at our next build night...check back for details!

Park Progress: July 15th

Last night's build night got off to a slow start, but once we got the ball rolling....well the paint rollers rolling...we made some great progress. We relayered the the chewed up base sheets on the wedge and vert wall and Steve build a new kicker to pair up with the elevated grind box we built a few weeks ago. We finally cracked the sealant cans and coated about 1/2 of the park in the "Pedal Power maroon" paint. The place looks great! Thanks to all that helped out, we appreciate the hard work!

Next week we're hoping to relayer the remaining damaged sheets on various ramps, finish painting the remaining ramps, and hopefully start on the skeleton of the mini ramp. Matt from Pedal Power will be stopping by in the near future to help Tony and Steve stencil the ramps with some PDL PWR shop logos.
