Langebaan Park sneak peak from WC BMX on Vimeo.
Here is a quick run around the new park in Langebaan up the R27 highway on the West Coast. It's 120km from Table View to the park and takes about 1 hour to get there. The park is nowhere near finished and will only be officialy opened in September, just in time for Summer. They will be putting up a fence soon and charging an entry of R5. Well worth it.
The only complaint I have is that all the coping is stainless steel and anyone who designs/builds a park should have known that stainless steel does not slide. I hope the handrail down the stairs isn't going to be the same. Other than that I like the layout, the bowl is awesome and there's some good lines to be done here.
I did some riding in the edit too so you can get an idea of the size of the park. Enjoy.
Who is building the park?

it's Clive Crofton who "has designed 20 skateparks over the last 12years"
