Cummer Skatepark
823 Cummer Ave. Leslie & Cummer
An old Victor Ford & Associates era park with some ridiculous features and bad lines.
Cummer skatepark is over 20years old and starting to deteriorate. A Petition for repairs has been started by a Local named Darryl. Please Sign it HERE and get involved.
Hi Scott. After taking my 9 year old to Cummer skatepark to learn skating I have started a petition to have the Cummer skatepark either resurfaced or rebuilt. It has become unsafe for beginners to learn at this park because of the huge gaps, very rough surface and even some chunks of concrete missing. If you can please sign the petition and pass on the link to the petition page I would appreciate it. https://chng.it/WkTRnvjRFG
ReplyDeleteThanks for your continued work in the skateboarding community and writing wonderful comprehensive skate blog.
Apparently, my comment was not a reply. See below.
DeleteI have signed and will repost the link here and on all my socials. It’s been my experience that online petitions are not widely accepted by city staff/council because anyone, anywhere can sign. But Please, don’t let that stop you. Just use it as your first step. Pen on paper petitions hold value and approaching from a safety perspective is the way to go. That’s how the Toronto Skateboarding Committee got lights at ABB. Keep me updated as to how I can help.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support on this. I may not be the best person for this undertaking, however I haven't seen any other individuals trying to get Cummer refurbished, and I figured it would be worth a try. It's unfortunate that the park seems to be used very little now.
