So, 22,500 Sq ft.  Plenty of room for a kick ass park / plaza...but this is Chicago, so,....no.

22,500, for scale for anyone, is bigger than Stoner in LA. Chicago Park District meeting on the 13th; sign up to speak and if nothing else, state that you support the renovation of this plaza. Yes, something is in the works.

it looks like the small bump to manual pad might be in the landing of the hip transfers on both sides. looks pretty sick, though.

Those 4 piece ledges on the right-ish and left-ish side kind of look like a clusterfuck, you could make a lot better use of those spaces.

I would say get rid of the surrounding stairs and utilize the cement to make something else or to simply add runup. My imagination isn't good enough to imagine exactly how it would be as is though. Overall, lots of cool stuff. I mean, I guess you can skate the stairs as ledges. I also like how one of them ends where a quarter pipe is like you could grind into it. Maybe, if you can put some banks near the walls instead or quarter pipes. Or, maybe you can cut out parts of the bottom stair and make like flat gaps that you can grind over. Also, I understand the comment about two of the same obstacle, but one you can skate frontside and the other would be backside. I really like how the banks are skewed all over the place too. Sorry for the rant, the park looks very different from others around and looks like a lot of fun. Idk just stupid suggestions otherwise, if you want them... Oh, one more thing. Good call on the A box or whatever that is where it is 2 banks leading to a point, those are really cool.

Justis, thinking outside the box.

The beach volleyball courts behind there should also be topless.

Be careful what you wish for. That could easily backfire on you.

Skate later at night. It's far more conducive to actually getting some good skating done.

Not the way I see it.  Yes, the likelihood of seeing some spectacular tits is slim.  However, you may see something so gross, that you would surely tell your friends about it repeatedly.  Upgrading your storytelling cache.
Or perhaps you are filming a line at the park, pan out to some BGT's.   That will be a lot of peoples new favorite clip. 

By the way, I'm coining the phrase "Background Titties" if it hasn't already been done.
