suegarn Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 So are they just going to fill in the bowl, or are they going to create another one with proper drainage? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 BINGO suegarn!!!! No drainage is very dumb. IF they had put in drainage (drilling through the bottom) AND used better quality soil, the bowls would have made very nice planters for trees, shrubs or gardens. Unless, of course, they are going to sponsor mud wrestling in the rainy season. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Even with a drain hole, the water table due to higher lake levels makes draining impossible. I agree about turning it into a planting area and with its depth, it can be safely planted now, even with current lake level. It was a bad design to construct the bowl so close to the malecon as I have seen skaters (and those on bikes) soar out of the bowl into pedestrians.

tomgates Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Now they need to totally remove it (the skatepark) and pave over it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 there was a hole in the bottom. A drain which backed up which caused the problem. They are going to fill it in and cement over it and put rails for the kids to use as part of their skateboarding activities. Work should be done in 2 weeks mexican time. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea on railing to keep pedestrians safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 the bowl was poorly designed. Once in it, it was almost impossible to get out. The rails will support keeping the kids off the benches and will give them a say in what they would like to see in their area. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
