Playland Park- Flint MI

Skatepark added to family fun park

Playland family amusement center added a skatepark that is purported to have been called "Playland Pavement Paradise"

Skot Werner described the park for the 'zine Local Chaos:

"The playland park was pretty poorly executed. The dragon bowl in front was designed to be a pool w/coping. We had partnered with Modern Cement company across the street to make the park and they took all kinds of short cuts and general F-ups. At the same time when Playland was started there was only 1 park that had an actual skate pool in its layout and I think that was Spring Valley so not a huge road map to work from. It was surf style at best and the Michigan winters destroyed the poor quality pretty quickly. We often had continual leakage up from the cracks that was slippery as hell and dangerous."

The park closed down when Playland moved to its new location (which incidentally also had a halfpipe.)
