Long time no post but some might remember my bits on Stamford & Bristol.  This is what I saw on Thursday.  In my opinion, if you're going to build a skatepark get the shotcrete treatment.

The snake - leg burn, speed ... and a pool corner/hip if you can reach it.  Not as tame as the original plans.

this will have tile/pool coping

Cattle chute street section

Is Chelsea Piers supposed to charge for that or is a Parks Dept. project that's just on Chelsea Piers property?

Neither, it'll be run by the hudson river trust, not sure how the pay to play thing will go, but the forms for a turnstyle type entrance are already poured.

Good work man, thanks for the pics!

I was under the impression from various people including site design, who designed the park, that it would be free. I'm sure there will be a helmet requirement, but if its free I can deal with that aspect.

Does anyone have info that says otherwise?

I was told spring 2010, in order to complete the other stuff going on the pier.  But the skatepark should be ready to skate in less than a month.  Thats a shitty answer and if I find out otherwise in the next couple of days I'll post up.
