- ExcavationIn the fall of 2001, UVB finished a 10,000 sq ft skateboard park for the City of Myrtle Point. The $177,000 project was the vision of a group of local skaters that was brought to completion by the architectural services of Crow/Clay of Coos Bay and the talents of Eric Dawkins, David McBride and their expert crew of park builders. The project called for skilled excavation, formwork, concrete placement and finish to shape the 10 foot deep bowl. It has been a draw for skaters from up and down the west coast who have come to sample its deep bowl.
