Fake grass in skatepark: looks good or not Empty
PostSubject: Fake grass in skatepark: looks good or not   Fake grass in skatepark: looks good or not EmptyTue Jan 01, 2013 11:01 am

Every now and then I see like fake grass included in some of the fingerboard skateparks. What do you think about having fake grass in a skatepark?

When I saw Justin's concrete skatepark and his recreation of Carlsbad I think the fake grass looks good.

But I've seen other skateparks where there are big plastic grass blades and plastic flowers and I just think that it doesn't really look all that good to me.

So what's your opinion?

It gives it a more realistic effect, It also recreates streetskating with grass gaps etc
It also makes a video more interesting and colourful

Depends on the fake grass, if it's really tall then it's mehh, but if it's tiny grass, then it looks sick

If it's done right, sure.

The grass that came with the Box 7 was horrible.

I think it looks really nice if it's some good looking grass like the grass on the Blackriver parks.

It looks very ugly with the doormat kind of grass like this

IMO grass gaps look good as long as it's realistically sized. ie. the flowers on brr are wider that a board iirc.

Maybe you could use plastic containers to hold the soil in ? A bonsai would be pretty cool.

Yeah, I think I've seen some people use real plants. I think that's the coolest way to go, but it requires lots of maintenance with watering and so on.

And the wood doesn't have to rotten either. I'm sure there are ways of making sure the water and soil doesn't interfere with the wood on the skatepark.

I just don't like the big plastic flowers I've sometimes seen.
