Well me and my freind got bored of all the skate spots in town and the skatepark is being built so couldnt skate there untill they have concrete so me and my freind walked the train tracks and all of a sudden he catches a glimpse just bricks and shit. Well me and him just messin around went over there. Well this place used to be a house and it got busted down where it was just pieces of the train tracks and bricks and dirt and bushes all over this concrete. Trees after all these years I guess kinda grew themselfs around this place. We got out shovels and brooms and saws and started clearin out dirt and cuttin down bushes and cuttin bushes that are in the way and it is somewhat skateable already. We got a few stuff to put in there to skate on already. There is two slaps of big concrete and maby a 3 foot drop to each other. Tons of shade and only a few people to know about this place.
Like the title says "The Place" is the name. This place is sooooo well hiddin and its ours!!!
I will try to get pics but my cam deleted the pics I had on its own.
So what do you guys think about our little secrete park.

theres an abandoned primary school where some people from the local skatepark crew made some stuff to skate. its so cool, its like through some bushes and up some stairs. and everyone just skates there and hangs and there are couches and shit. its just like a skatepark but without little kids and stuff, its just a bunch of good skaters who have fun. theres an 8 stair, a 4 stair with a knee height hubba, a 3 stair with a downrail, a little kicker, a flatbar and it goes off a roof for a pretty big drop. ive fs flipped the 3, kickflipped the 4, just ollied the eight, only 50-50d the hubba and ive been too scared to try the big drop. its about 6 feet and ill probably try it next weekend. my spot is better than yours! hehe. and it already had stairs and shit so its so cool

That sounds awesome. We've had secret places like that through out the years, (usually with pools though) and it's always rad to have a spot to yourself. Also a great place to hide bodies.

But walking on train tracks is very dangerous.

We had a place like that behind a grain elevator, prefect 4 stair with a nice handrail. Skated there everyday until someone on roller blades broke their leg their and sued...greedy fu**ing people these days always looking for money.

Man that sounds sweet. All that I got is an old oven that we do acid drops and cavemans and stuff off of besides flatland and a few parking blocks.
