History: I think this park was started by one group and then finished by another.
Overall:
It's a great park oriented to flow. It has a crazy number of
subtly curves and dips, encouraging high speed skating.
Creativity marks Dreamland Designs from other skateparks. Adam
McRill checks it by hand first.
