Fairmont Skatepark (Sugarhouse) - Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A.

(posted 8/25/04) The Salt Lake City park is now open or east 3/4 of it is. When the city announced the contractor pretty much everyone said the were going to fuck it up and they did, so for the last 3 months it's been sitting there done but tied up it arguments about what to do. They finally decided to fence of the deep bowl and tear it out to be repoured and go ahead an open rest of the park. The flowbowl area is by no means not without flaws but it is skateable and kinda fun. I'd say the park is a 6-7 a few years back it would have been higher but with parks like Carbondale CO and Klamath Falls OR being built it's not real creative. - B. Baade

(posted 7/6/04) Brand new "Site Design" Designed park. Not open yet, the City went with the lowest contractor and they blew it in the big bowl. It has no vert, yet 10' deep. I guess they are in litigation over the bad pour the cement guys did. Good looking flow bowl with Site Design features. Current skatepark street area, with 2 rails, london gap, hips, a hubba and other ledges.
