Manhattan’s Coleman Oval Skate Park is going to get a complete overhaul thanks to a design competition that asked firms to re-work the park as part of the New York City Parks & Recreation Department’s Adopt-A-Park program, according to a story on Bustler.net.

“By creating a park that emphasizes and underlines local diversity, Coleman Oval Park has the potential to become a one of a kind city park simply by accommodating the potential of the dense urban area it sits within: the secret is in the mix,” said Jens Holm, founder, HAO.
