After 5 years the Ithaca Skatepark needs renovation

After every rainfall, a pond, often 12inches deep, forms at the park. The pond is a self perpetuating problem caused because the park is sinking. It renders a large part of the park unusable, ruins skateboards that accidentally go in it, and creates a safety/health hazard.


A smaller pool of water also forms in the bowl area.


The metal edge on this wall fell off and has never been replaced.

Dangerous cracks have formed at the top and bottom of this bank, again because the park is sinking. Skateboard wheels which are typically 50-60mm in diameter can be stopped by these cracks, causing the rider to fall off the board.
