Kinda surf related as many skate when it's flat or at night, Just saying that the pool/bowl at Sat BCh Skatepark is horrible. Cannot understand how Team Paine could have designed and build such a waste of concrete. Sent email to Team Paine in Winter Springs, never heard back, Tried to call, no luck...Anyone in Winter Springs know these guys? Sat Bch should demand they come out a redo the pool/bowl. Way too tight, way too deep for the width, transition is very bad...bummed as they usually do great work but after another go at it last night I give up. Long shot but maybe someone in the Orlando area knows these guys...thx

For a dose of old-school realism, it's alright -- I skated many backyard pools with worse transitions back in the day. Got chased away by owners or cops before the thrill wore off, but...
...for a taxpayer-funded, custom-designed park, that pool is a bit of a disappointment, especially among Team Paine's other projects. I guess things would have to begin with some kind of survey: Is there anyone who actually likes or rides the pool as it is? I wouldn't want to take away a feature that is actually loved and used. But if a huge majority wants a change, maybe it's time to approach TP for a discounted fix-up. A couple yards of concrete could do wonders for that thing! |

I hear you about worse transitions found in backyard pools, been there! but Team Paine was given over $200,000 according to the web to re-vamp Sat bch, lot's of money, IMO (tax money too)!!! I am only bummed because it is the closet park to my house, kinda a long drive to Cocoa Bch Sk8 park after work. After suffering through the surf break out front dying from Beach re-nourishment it lame that the only sk8 bowl in the S. end of Brevard also suffers from, the saying "It's better somewhere else"... can't catch a break down here. --- Rant Over-- will migrate over to W. MLB Field of Dreams or just hit the backyard halfpipe nearby.

That W.Mlb field of dreams is an amazing skate park. I don't skate anymore but am super jealous we didn't have all these city funded Skate parks when I was a kid.
Hell, they made it illegal to skate in the mean streets of Satellite Beach when I was in High School. That was my main source of transportation back then to go check the surf. |

IHB had an awesome park back in the 70's till little Johnny got hurt and Mom sued the city--concrete rubble!!

I remember that IHB skate park. The concrete wave? I took up skateboarding mid-70s and moved to Satellite in 1979. That IHB park was closed but you could still sneak in and skate it. I mostly rode it on my bike at the time as it was rideable if I remember correctly.

LOL yep I have my "moving violation" ticket, saved somewhere in a box, that I received for skating in the old grocery store parking lot next to JamesTown in IHB. Even my mom laughed, "You go a moving violation ticket for doing what?!" ------------------------- Time and tide wait for no one..... |

Well the City of Satellite Beach just spent $200,000 on a new pavilion for the skate park. They are rolling in the dough so get a group that is part of the clique and you will have a new skate park in no time! Also ask for a floating sidewalk so we don't have to paddle out anymore

We were just kids prob 7th grade I think and a Cocoa Beach cop took five of us and our skateboards to the station. They confiscated our boards and kept us in the lobby until our parents came and got us. Let me tell you my parents were pissed at the CB Police was an understatement. |

Thanks for the notice. I might check it out. I was biking by the SB skate park a couple weeks ago and stopped and watched. I was jealous I can't skate anymore. But, then again, glad I don't.
