Review:  Dreamland's skate parks keep me up at night. The new addition to Lincoln City's skate park is timeless and so straight forward it hurts. Without a kink, ripple or even hesitation, the park's simplicity and clarity is startling. The only limits are those of the user; it is as if the park is transparent. The fluidity and challenge poured into Dreamland's latest creation ensure a healthy community facility for decades to come. It is not as easy to dive into the cradle as it looks, but it is a hay of a ride.
