Livingston Skatepark

From ExtremeWiki

Livingston Skatepark, Scotland. Created at the end of the 1970s, 'Livi' was the first of a new generation of concrete parks. The brainchild of Iain Urquhart the chief architect for the local council and the chairman of the Scottish Skateboard Association, Urquhart managed to gain funding for the park by creating a multi-sport complex comprised of a fitness trail, climbing wall, kayak launching area and the skatepark. Afters eeing California skateparks, Urquhart was able to create a revolutionary facility. Comprising a half pipe with flat bottom, a large banked area and a double bowl, the 'Rock and Roll' (because of the climbing wall and park) has outlasted its creator, who died shortly after it opened. It has been extended and coping added to the pool.
