"2 million for a narrow path with speed bumps": Residents of a village in Udmurtia are shocked by a new "skate park."

"The little residents of Lonki-Vortsy village enjoyed trying out their skating skills at the brand-new skate park. Their impressions were nothing but positive." — the administration employees boasted on their VK page Igrinsky Area.

"The most awesome skatepark, the most powerful skating," "What is this? Where is the concrete, steps, railingsа"This isn't a skatepark, they just laid down asphalt," "This is a skateboard "A park or speed bumps?" "This is just a complete disgrace.", local residents commented under the publication.

As the acting head of Lonka-Vortsinsky explained Olga SolovyovThe project was implemented under the "Integrated Development of Rural Areas" program, and the work was completed in accordance with the state expert assessment estimate for the amount of 2 million rubles.

"Did it really take two lemons to build a narrow road with speed bumps?""—people wondered. Solovieva responds to most of the negative comments herself, in the same spirit: "Come visit us and judge for yourself.".

“Maybe not everyone here understands what’s wrong with this skate park and what the difference is between concrete and asphalt, — an Izhevsk resident commented under a post about the new location. Denis Gusev. — The park in the video is dangerous for children; any fall will tear their skin right down to the flesh.. "Plus, small wheels don't roll well on it, and it creates a lot of vibration when riding a skateboard or scooter. The park should be concrete."

According to posts on Gusev's page, he is a skateboarder himself. Therefore, he immediately recognized the skate park's shortcomings. According to the resident of the capital of Udmurtia, such parks "should be built by people who understand the business, not Grandpa Kuzmich."

“I think the 2 million was allocated specifically for concrete, but everything turned out as we see in the video, — Denis continues. — And any sane person understands that while perfectly smooth concrete can cost 2 million, 100 square meters of asphalt is unlikely to do so. I hope an investigation is conducted, everyone involved in the possible theft is punished, and the children will get their promised park."
