Believe it or not, this skate park is in the East Coast and is put up by National Parks Singapore. If you don't believe me, click here for more info.
I guess you can tell that the Singapore Government put this up, because at the time of these photos, there's no graffiti up yet. I'm curious to see what it looks like now as these photos were taken in February (2009). I'm gonna make my way out there and try to get some recent snaps. I have a hunch that if there's any graffiti there, it's commissioned or you have to apply to "get up".
The entire skate park occupies an area of 1.4 ha (the size of about 2.5 football fields) and comprises a combo bowl, a vertical bowl and a streetcourse covering 0.4 ha. Constructing the skate park cost $7.6 million, which is co-shared by NParks and MCYS. It is catered to both beginners and professionals, who will be able to find features that suit their skill levels:
Streetcourse - The Streetcourse caters to all riders. It provides elements for both intermediate and advanced skaters and bikers. The Streetcourse consists of a mix of street obstacles, including stairs, handrails, ledges and gaps to enable progression from lower level ramps to more advanced areas.
Combo Bowl - The Combo Bowl section is an intermediate to advanced level bowl with different depths, hips, corners, a spine, sub box and bank wall. The layout enables riders to travel continuously around the sections of the bowl and transfer from one area to another.
Vertical Bowl - The 3.6-metre Vertical Bowl area is for advanced skaters/bikers and consists of a channel with different corners. This is a challenging bowl that will ensure progression for skate park users to enable them to enter competitions.
