🇺🇸Newport DIY Skatepark
DIY · Newport, Kentucky, United States
read at 21:00 local · weather: open-meteo
Volunteer-built DIY terrain under the I-471 bridge, across the river from Cincinnati, that local skaters and Galaxie Skateshop have grown since about 2008, with a concrete bowl poured by Hunger Skateparks in 2017.
Heads up · Not a city park: it is kept up by volunteers, so respect the locals, take your trash and consider chipping in to the build fund.

How the read works
We track the water on the ground hour by hour, starting two days back. Rain adds to it; sun, wind and dry air take it away (the forecast's evaporation figure, which folds all three together); frost locks it in. Concrete sheds most of a downpour and dries in a couple of hours on a good day. Dirt soaks it up and takes a day or more, and riding it while it's mud ruts it. It's a model, not a camera: shady corners and the bottom of a bowl hold water longer. Weather from Open-Meteo.
