14 April 2010 Build Progress Update:
***Edit: We now have a confirmed date for the skatepark completion that can be made public. The contractor will be finishing up on site and will remove the fences so that the park can open to the public from Saturday 24th April. There is also an Edinburgh Council official opening day event planned for Saturday 8th May so get along to that and show your support too. Its been a long time coming but only 9 more days to wait and counting! Check back next week for the final build photo update which will show the completed park in all its glory...***

Its been a few weeks since the last build update and Saughton Skatepark is very close to being finished. The clover bowl has been sprayed and the final features are being added to the street course. The rails will go in next week and then we should be able to give you a date on when the park will be complete and ready to ride. Roll on the opening day!...

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.
