Lakeland Skatepark There has been a skate park in Lakeland for a couple of years now, but I never had the chance to check it out until last weekend. I commend the city of Lakeland for trying, but I've never seen a bigger waste of cement in my life. The designers and constructors of this atrocious collaboration of hardened sand apparently have never stepped on a skateboard in their lives. I heard that the City intends on adding more. If so, listen to me. If you plan on making any "improvements" or additions, please hire a skateboard-oriented professional to design, build, and oversee the entire project. Don’t get me wrong though, we still had a fun time skating the only obstacle there worth rolling our wheels across, the quarter-pipe that actually had coping. Check the photos (all shot by Tom Cunningham – who, by the way, should get "Father Of The Year"). Ryan
