FDR has been around since the mid 90's. The city only donated two shitty pyramids and the rest was built by skaters. Here's a short history of the park for you. [VIDEO] Right now we're building a new bowl next to the vert ramp. I think it's going to have a 6 foot shallow and 9 foot deep end. It's supposed to look like the Hanger Bowl [VIDEO] in South Carolina.
