It is not wise to pour concrete directly over earth even if it is compacted because of the tendency of the earth under the concrete to settle.  Settling earth will result in cracking concrete.  A poorly compacted base most often causes cracking and settling of concrete.  A proper sub-base of compacted gravel is essential for proper skatepark construction in all but the mildest climates.  It is recommended that skatepark construction begin with a minimum of 4 inches of  “¾ inch minus” (3/4 inch or smaller) crushed gravel, which is then wet and compacted.  A compactor or “whacker” can be rented by the day or week from most equipment rental companies.  This insures a suitable base and will reduce the likelihood of cracking in the future.  The site can now be staked out, and the space for bowls and/or obstacles identified with paint or stakes and string line.
