We did a post about Queens getting a new skate park back in July 2012 and it looks like the construction is underway. The new 10,350-square-foot cement skate park  is located off Atlantic Ave between 88th & 89th Street  in London Planetree Park and is set to be completed by Summer 2013. It  was designed by Site Design Group, Inc. (bummed to find out  that Steve Rodriguez had no input) and  California Skate Parks appears to be doing the construction. We took a little trip over to the construction site to see how things were coming along and shot a few photos, check them below.
