18 February 2010 Build Progress Update:
The sun's out for a change and there's more parts of the park emerging. Work has been done on progressing the structure for the 8ft quarter, the mini bowl, the sub-box/step-up and the levels are being built up for the fun-box too. The over-vert coping is now fixed in place on the front and back and the concrete banks have been poured behind it so you can better see how that is going to work as a fun bank to wall in the street area. More concrete transitions are scheduled to be sprayed next week including the over-vert so keep your fingers crossed for more dry weather and check back soon for further updates...

The Skatepark Layout:

The final layout for the Saughton Park site was developed by the skaters and riders in the ESP group in conjunction with architects Urban Design Futures and Dave Sowerby acting to produce the layout plans. The skatepark layout covers approximately 2100 square meters and features a mix of bowl and street features to cater for all skill levels.
