This need was verified when Los Angeles neighborood land Trust took <br />on the task of developing it using L.A. County funds. LANLT hired RJM Design Group to conduct <br />a series of community workshops for local skaters to produce design and construction drawings. <br />There were 3 well -attended workshops conducted over a 6-month period and a final skatepark <br />design was achieved. The approved design resulted in a 18,000SF skatepark with both street and <br />urban skate features, including a 3,000SF bowl. <br />The park had several large existing trees that were saved and worked into the skate park design <br />providing many shady spots surrounding the skate park. Cut out corten steel panels provided an <br />art component as well as a border to keep skate traffic off the sidewalk leading to a senior center. <br />The February 2020 grand opening was well attended with over 800 people in attendance. County <br />Supervisor Janice Hahn led the opening ceremony and once the ribbon was cut the community <br />poured into the much needed skatepark. <br />Project Team, <br />cvmmunir�msp a,9�weag `';��, <br />Principal: Larry P.
