Local park quality going down

One of my local hills used to be crazy. The features were so creative and you could never find anything like it again. The last few years it’s really gone downhill. Here are a couple features that don’t exist anymore but would love to see stuff like it.

anyone else have this sort of issue?

The other hill in the town I ski at is holimont and they had a volkswagen bug in their park. Had a rainbow box over it. Sometimes they’d set it up on a table so people could tap it or bounce off it or hit the rainbow box

It's a little midwest hill. A lot of these places will hire whoever wants to build parks and the year to year turnover is very high. Some years the crew is creative, hard working, and makes great set-ups. Other years not so much. That's just reality. If you don't like it work a season in parks, not to hard to get in at these types of hills.

Lol my park crew is great but this year they had no budget so we only got 2 jumps. The first is a big, super kicky one and then a tiny one with a 100 foot landing so you can go small or boost off it.
