On the ground update!
We told you Evergreen would be busy this week with some of the most visible major changes, and they certainly were!
Just like most other concrete projects, fill has to be brought in that can be compacted in order to provide a solid base to pour, or in this case, shoot, the concrete onto. Shotcrete will be used in this project, as it allows you to get concrete into shapes that are otherwise difficult or impossible purely with traditional forms.

And here’s a shot of the bowl. Quite a difference from just a few days ago! (pictured below)
For this kind of project the dirt work is almost always the largest amount of change in the smallest amount of time and the Clinton Community Skate Park is no exception. This picture looks nothing like the one above!
Imagine this finished with concrete! (I don’t know that the final grade will be sloped and covered in concete exactly like this!)
Definitely starting to look like a skate park, isn’t it?
All on-site photos, including those with the kids, were taken with the on-site supervisors permission. We also have consent to publish the kids images. We can’t wait until the Skate Park is open and we can turn everyone loose to try it out! Again we ask that people continue to steer clear of the construction site for your safety!
