This summer my boyfriend and I have planned a tour of the local skate parks. I'm doing this project, because I've always loved skateboarding, despite not really being able to skate with any confidence. With my planner background, it seems like my desire to learn more about the public realm and physical environment is almost unquenchable (unless I'm burnt out..). Anyways, I've already put together the map below to outline our sites and begun identifying the key components we'd like to measure. My boyfriend has been skating since he was 8, so I'll be relying on his expert knowledge to provide further insight into compoenents like the flow of a park. There's definately a few terms that need to be defined on our part, and a scan of the available literature. I'll be collecting all relevant aspects of the project below for my own enjoyment. And you the reader, if you're even there haha.
still under review/ in development! I am leaning away from a likert scale rating and considering going full qualitative! Beginning to think rankings will not work well with the spirit of this project.
