Here’s an interesting story about an ancient, in skate years, skatepark that was apparently uneartherd by Wisconsin D.O.T. crews. The spot is being used by the D.O.T. to store equipment during a two year freeway project.
Word spread quickly and the local old guys who used to shred the park did the only thing you could do in this case, they went down and started to dig out the bowls!
After they were busted by the cops a couple times the D.O.T. filled in the bowls with concrete rubble. There were a few people that rode the bowls before they were filled in for a bit.
