Dude this park is rad, and there's a bunch of little kids because it's a new plaza. After awhile it'll die out.

[theboss130]

why did juan delete his comments

[thesemenator]

I just went there today to check, and they're still working on it and it will open in 2 weeks. The only reason why you can get in is because the wind blew the fences down.

[gl1production]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thats how happy i am

[col1in0zz]

hey i need 2 no if its open, coment back!!!!

[lamp118]

Well I guess Beth was mistaken The boss man Van Starr just called me back finally (Ive been leaving messages for him) and said they are going to do the landscaping before the soft opening. He expects to open the gates at each end in 2 weeks, then when the granite gets here from China theyll close up again and get that installed.

[lamp118]

Van also said California Skateparks is really screwing with them trying to get about $60k more than agreed upon, which has been holding things up.

[lamp118]

I just spoke with Beth at Portland Parks. Theres good news and bad news

Bad news: Incorrect materials were received and they have postponed the grand opening until Spring.

Good news: They are doing a soft opening — the mostly finished park should be open today!

If anybody is in the area and can verify this, please let us know. I wont be out that way until Wednesday.

[lamp118]

I got a call back from Portland Parks and Rec and they say it's not opening until some time in January now. They said to call back at the end of December for an exact date.
