THE MILL PARK SERIES
The Mill Street Skate Park or the Gardens Skate Park is situated underneath the Mill Street Bridge. It started around November 2013 when a few young Urban Designers won the PlayScapes Building Trust International Design Competition and started construction under the Mill Street Bridge, building the Gardens Skate Park.

This is my mate Waldo and we were out at the Durban Skate Park having fun... back in 2017...
The Gardens Skate Park is a beacon for the Skateboarding Culture in Cape Town and I believe that the market for skating will grow larger in Cape Town due to this awesome park.
I hope that all of you are as passionate about this short film series as we are. It’s not going to be an easy road to make these films, just like it wasn’t an easy road for the designers, the urban design team and the construction companies involved to make this park possible and our vision is for a group of filmmakers to collaborate into making these films possible and to have the best skating launch day Cape Town has ever seen.
We then went on to produce an experimental video for PPC Imaginarium with the series and wound up as The Official Runners Up of the PPC Imaginarium Awards 2015.
.... And then four years go by.
Our team split up
Some went into music
others became actors
and the rest of us
...
the rest of us are out there
making films
A special thanks goes out to Adobe and the way they have grown as a company from Photoshop or Reader to the amazing packages they offer now. I'm also really keen for Adobe Story to come back soon.
I live and work and design and shoot from my home office in Welkom, South Africa in the Free State. I also run a registered South African Micro Enterprise Pty Ltd business which is fully compliant to produce great media internationally as well as in South Africa.
Kindestly Yours. Rowen Smith, rowen.work@gmail.com 0796470077
