Melaque's new skateboard bowl

I took a few fotos of the new skateboard "park" a few weeks ago but yesterday while waiting for mechanics to finish my car I checked it out again. This time someone was using it and it turned out to be an old skim-board friend. The outer rim is about 5 feet off the ground for drainage and so it doesn't get inundated when Melaque floods.
