What's in the street section: we'll in the image above there isn't much I the street section because it wasn't being built at that time but now things have moved around in the park. (I will keep you updated on the progress) and now that there is building progress going on there will be everything from down rails to fun boxes with ledges running down the side. What you can see on the panorama below is the start of the street section that includes a flat bank with a euro gap option to the side and a large flat bank at the back with some pop towards the top and a quater in the middle giving you the option to air your tricks to the quater or to the banks on both sides. The next part of the street section is the banks with a down ledge that is extended on the flat too making a lovely long extended rail that is amazing for slides and grinds a like behind this ledge is a 5ft quater that leads up onto a sub box that is 3ft tall. 

What's in the park section?: in the park section there is currently more to offer than the street (but that is soon to change ) starting with the roll in, the Rollin Is perfectly placed for the box and that a decent push from the back will send you shooting over the box towards the vert wall. Now here comes my favorite bit just to the right of the vert wall (12ft) is a 5ft quater and a flat bank sticking out that leads you into the street section. If you hit the box fast enough and give it a few good puses you can out the quater and do a wall ride buts sometimes the grainger games banner sometimes gets in the way but if your going fast enough you can use the spring of the banner to give you that little extra hop. This panorama below shows the foam pit that is no longer there and has now been turned into a resi and is amazing for those big flippy whippy tricks! At the front as you come on there is a 4ft mini half pipe that is perfect for airs,coping slides, and tech tricks.
