A new concrete park designed by NewLine Skatepark,  replaces the old pre-fab on rough asphalt.  There's a lot to like here including ledges, stairs, a deep bowl with pool coping and a mini-ramp.  It's really well put together and a great use of some of the old ramps.

Oh yeah.  This is my 600th Skatepark!

This bank/QP pocket is like a mini North Bay.

Thanks guys.

This hubba was the perfect ender for my day. I could have hit any of the several hubba in the park but this poised a challenge with avoiding the grass on the exit. Some spills were had but I got my ended cleanly.

Using the siding from the old ramps as a shade structure: Genius!!!

The old park had a lot of jersey barriers around it and that theme was included in the new park. It's encircled with barriers that create the planters, retaining walls and a few ledges in the park.

This simple skatepark has all the basic features in a fun layout, nestled in a beautiful park by the Rideau River. Pay parking right next to the spot.

Fun Fact - the Transition Construction crew that built the West shore Skate Spot had been working on this project before Pickering. Pickering was slightly delayed due to a big wind storm that hit Ottawa and delayed the Vanier project.

Park 599!

It's been a while since a shot from a tree.

The last VFA park on my list, this old park from 2001 is crazy.

You'll never find stuff like this built today. There's a crazy quarter that gets progressively tighter with more vert 'til it becomes a wall.

Hubbas to street.
