Comments: This would prob be one of the best parks finished on the East Coast in a while. A good mix of everything for everybody and one of the best skatepark pools evert built. I skated during the opening and must say it is the fastest, smoothest concrete finish ever. Sam and crew put alot of heart and soul into this one. It shows.

Bob Pribble sent in these shots a while back. Sorry they took so long to get up. Couple more over on the GSL page. Shots by JMZ.

Construction:
Here are a few construction pics from various people of the Skatepark of Bowie. The Skatepark is being built by Breaking Ground Skateparks. Sloppy Sam and Co. broke ground a few weeks ago and they are moving pretty fast. The city of Bowie will be running the park and when the details come in I will post them.
