Location 1



This is the Citydeck designed by stossLU of Boston, MA downtown Green Bay. Sometime within a year it will be completed. Quite the accomplishment for Green Bay, World Class Design, and it is also quite the public space for residents. (Last photo is what used to be "the boardwalk")

There are some wonderfully designed benches that flow into the walkway. The bike trail runs through the heart of the park and the wood used is Ipe, extremely durable and a beautiful gray surface as it ages.

BMXer's, what am I getting at with this post? StreetBMX sees that need in Green Bay for areas destined for youth. Citydeck will become a wonderful downtown attraction and a hang out spot. Coffee, sunflower seeds and young people standing and sitting in circles is all that is needed.

BMX could and should have a field day, but with full respect to other users and the physical appearance of the park. Get stossLU to do the BMX park. Remember, your tax dollars at work here. Enjoy it!


Here it is on the Map.
