As reported in SkateDaily.net,this year the Maloof brothers will build and leave the skatepark this year. Here is the report:
The Maloof Money Cup has released a comprehensive design for the 16,000 square-foot skate plaza that will reside permanently at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York. You can view the rendering and additional info via the TWSkateboarding site.
The design of the skate plaza to replace the park’s deteriorating Astral Fountain was conceptualized by Chris Cole, Geoff Rowley NYC skate legend Steve Rodriguez and Joe Ciaglia, president of California Skateparks and it looks solid with replicas of several NY street spots. And even though it will undoubtedly become a huge attraction for skateboarders and NYC Parks & Recreation Department’s “Adopt-a-Park” program for years to come, the flow of this plaza appears to funnel down into one central area and not in other non-linear directions. That’s just our opinion, but then again, Leo Romero can help to change that can’t he?
The Maloof Money Cup co-presented by Vans will host the world’s top professional skateboarders at the 2010 Maloof Money Cup at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens this summer from June 5th-6th, 2010.
