I do not know. My gut says 1977 but can’t find anything to back that up. There used to be a comment linking to a doc on the park but when the link was dead I deleted it. Try asking Bill Danforth. I would but I’m afraid of him.
This park is terrible but there isn't much else around. There is a huge plot of land next to the park unused too. The city really needs to make a new. not terribly designed park.
Hey was there ever an answer on the year it was built? Bill Danforth told me 79’ but that was opening day. If there’s a documentary about this place I would really love to see it. CVHC!
I saw those videos. We made sure to check out some of the street spots that are still there from those. I just want to find some solid info on who built it and when maybe even why? Newspaper archives or something hahah
This skate park was the best in the 80s & 90s. If only it could talk. Many of talented skaters spent many hours there. There would be about 100 people there every day .. crushing it. Lots of people broke limbs there .. we used to jump BMX bike over 5 garbage cans and land in the road . Was good tines. Was the only park back then.people would come over from U.S.A to hit the park
40+ years. I'm pretty sure it was built in the late 70's.
ReplyDeleteWhat year was it build. We're having a debate over here

ReplyDeleteI’d say Bill’s the expert. I can’t located the doc but there’s 40min of footage from 1989 on youtube.
