Neighbors Sue City because of American Ramp Company Skatepark

In 2008, noise complaints from neighbors in Wesport, Washington shut down an American Ramp Company skatepark. The city bought steel ramps from American Ramp Company to save money. Neighbors of Dorland Municipal Park filed a $250,000 damage claim against the city because of the loud noise coming from the skatepark. City officials removed the steel ramps a week later to avoid the lawsuit.

"Skaters say the real problem was the park design, using metal ramps instead of concrete to save money." Click here for the full article from the Seattle Times.
