Earl Bales Skatepark

 Earl Bales Skatepark

4169 Bathurst St

EB is now under construction by Melfler Construction LTD (I'm digging to find out if they subcontracted it to a skatepark specialist UPDATE - Ewww, looks like CRC, so not so much a skatepark specialist as skatepark butcher). Melfler's been attached to Milton Community Skatepark & the Mount Albert Skatepark. I dropped by the site and saw the ground work underway. I'm posting now to see which skatepark is completed and open first, EB or HALP in Queensville by CRC.(the race to last place, their design for Eglinton Park is happening too)

It should be open and vandalized before winter.

Update Dec 3, 2025 - My insider has let me know the site is now shut down til spring. It's too cold to pour concrete successfully. BUT NewLine is pleased with their site inspections.

Above is August 9, below in August 30. 

What have you done in 3 weeks?!?

Here's the concept for reference.

NOV 1

This little guy had a rough Halloween.  As I approached the park, I heard something move inside a trash bin. I used my phone cam to look inside cuz I didn't want a squirrel in the face. I tipped the bin out and this guy waddled over to the tree and made himself more comfortable.

Sidewalk (yay) is done.

It snowed today (Nov 9). Does the City get a partial refund if the park's not done this year?

NOV 23

Looking more like a skatepark but DAMN, what's taking so long?

Oh right, they're also working on Queensville. Don't spread yourself thin CRC.

Saved another Raccoon from the same trash bin.
