This million dollar expansion will add a street run with six stairs, manny pad, A-frame bump,  mini bowl, and added alterations to the existing park. With the skatepark changes, the park will be the biggest free skatepark in the US and one of the largest parks in the world! It will total around 60,000 square feet in size. The expansion concept was designed by Nick Gates, city of Lake Forest staff, the skateboard community, and Site Design Group. California Skateparks will again be the builders of this landmark park.
