Hi guys, i have wanted to make a concrete park for a while now and now it is time. I have made a base of wood that is sturdy and all that and it has dimensions 58.5cmx58.5cm.

As this is my first park build i will need some help designing it. I have tried using google sketchup but am no good with it.

So i was wondering if anyone on here would be kind enough to design a park for me on google sketchup using the base dimensions that i mentioned ?

Hey!
I would say i know my way around sketch up, but its been a while. I tend to use Autodesk inventor for CAD things, but i could possibly be of help!
As far as designing, i would most certainly require some input, general idea for a park since the're so many possibilities!
Also im not too knowledgeable with the tolerances of concrete, thinkness, etc, and how it would contour certain things.
But hey! I think i could be of help haha
Other than our large time difference i don't think theirs any problem.  

*Edit* Oh yeah. just messed about in sketch up, yeah i know this stuff. It all came back to me haha
  
Would be glad to help!

I'm doing some work at my uncle's place (architecture) and we use Google Sketchup, I've not really mastered it fully but I've made a skatepark in the past. I can try and get something if you want.
What kinda things do you want on it?

Remember you can always draw it on paper too

yeh i will have a look at other parks to get ideas, draw it up on paper and then get one of you guys to do it for me thanks for the quick replies and willingness

no prob, there's loads of people that can use it too on here I think (probably much better than me haha)

just think about somthing that you think would be fun to skate and draw it on paper.

OKay i have designed the park, for a 58.5cmx58.5cm base, first of all i need to know if this looks like a nice design and if i should add remove anything and if there will be enough room left over, i have sketched it on the base and it seems pretty spacious.

Also the bit that i really need help with is drawing it on google sketchup, i know some guys on here are very good with it and it would only take them 5 mins so if someone would please do that for me then i would be very grateful

also i forgot to add that the drawing is a bit out of proportion, the hump should be a little smaller and the up down ramp should be bigger but im sure you guys will know

looks cool bro
hyped too see it on "real life"

Hey!
Just sketched it up, hope you like it!
I pretty much just eye balled everything( Except the base size ), so theirs no hard numbers to back this all up haha.
Also some things aren't exactly even...
If you like what you see i can send you the file or something.
If not feed back is appreciated! Gladly change it up.

Thanks very much quack, you saved me alot of time, okay now I can get started on it!

Jack, I'd like to make a suggestion if you don't mind.
From my experience and preference, I find parks that sit on one level like yours youve designed tend to feel like a collection of objects on a table more than a cohesive park. I'll get to work on creating an interpretation of your design that feels a little more park like and send it off to you.

Just my two cents

Edit:

Here's my take on your park with the elements you want.

hi ollie, of course i dont mind ! I am building a park because im sick of the way a collection o f objects feel so i wouldnt want that. So if you could do that then that would be great! cant wait to see it

Edited my above post

Thanks veryuch Ollie, what made you change the positions of the up down ramp and the corner l shape ledge? Just wondering what advantages you feel this would have over the first option. Cheers for helping me btw I appreciate it man

I just liked the way it looked and it seemed I flow a bit better, the way I've designed it takes into account your arm getting in the way of things and makes it so there is more possible combos and easier access to all the obsticals.

And no probs dude, I love doing shit like this haha

Oh Yeh I see the flow now, ready to build now,  I'll post update pictures

edit: Im going to get supplies either tonight or tomorrow and i have a question. Once the park is finished and i have painted it, what do i put ontop of the paint ? is it like normal wood clear coat or is it something special ?
