• <br /> Safety Considerations <br /> Due to the physicality of skate boarding, especially when done on concrete, special safety <br /> requirements have been considered in the designing of each skate park. First,no element is <br /> higher than four feet above grade at the maximum point.This ensures that the city will not <br /> need to provide supervision or waivers to the users,per League of Minnesota City <br /> standards. In addition,when poured properly, concrete makes for a safer skating <br /> experience than competing designs. This is due to the smooth surface and the lower risk of <br /> warping and damage than materials such as wood or fiberglass. The skate park designs also <br /> contain a variety of element heights, slopes and sizes; this enables the skaters to enjoy the <br /> park at a variety of skill levels. Lastly, it is recommended that lighting be provided to the <br /> park,both for night-time safety concerns and to provide more hours of usability. <br /> 9 <br />
