Pizzey skatepark in Australia is about to be updated with this extension with completion by September 2021.



Sincerely hoping this mirroring stuff doesn’t take off as the next trend of park designs

What happens to the park after the games? Public use?

Hopefully it will be built to be kept standing. The Olympics are notorious for hastily building facilities that fall apart a few years after the games. Then it's the host cities problem to figure out what to do with them. bankrupting entire cities, even countries because it’s a stupid event with money and shitty tourists as it’s main incentive

Shoulda let the Dime guys design it.

Can’t wait for Dime’s pisstake on the olympics to get more views and appreciation than some generic Californians skater doing the same kickflip combos.
Hope they can organize a 2021 event

Boring as fuck. I can’t believe anyone can be hyped on this, or the olympics in general.

Details and more angles if anyone is interested: https://we.tl/t-4WArFUu4jG

I think it's pretty wild that they mirrored the whole street course, which I assume is done to level the playing field for both goofy and regular skateboarders. Definite Olympic influence right there, I cannot remember seeing anything like that in a contest before. Single obstacles, yes, but ensuring whole lines can be done exactly in the same way in either stance?

I don't care too much about the Olympics, but now I want to see someone do mirror lines on both sides.

This what the park looks like in Lake Havasu. Not as big but  very very street league/olympic like.

I'm not sure all parks are going to take this design but it seems like there is a trend going on...which makes sense, I mean, the company who pitches an "olympic level" or "olympic style" park to the city council/head of recreation is likely to get their attention and speak their language.

Hmmm, I could have sworn I was told if I'm not interested in the olympics it won't affect me.
