Every week I swing by the #NewAlbanyFlowPark to see the progress. I've been working on getting the 1st #PublicArt #skatepark in our region built for the past 4+ years, and now it's finally happening. Figured a thread documenting over time would be fun. Updates ongoing! 2015: This is what the original #skatepark looked like before we started. Built in mid/late 1990s, its best days were behind it. It has held up well given its history of flooding and age, but there were design issues and crumbling features that made it outdated and unsafe.
