Trimmer Skate Spot

 Trimmer Skate Spot

Rouge Valley Community Recreation Centre

8450 Sheppard Ave @ Conlins Rd

A great example of 'skate urbanism' - Including skateable elements into the public space.

Unfortunately, the construction by the general contractor leaves a lot to be desired. 

A lack of knowledge and care went into the build so the final product fell far below industry standard.

The GC placed large seams in the worst spots (top of the stairs and in other landing zones), didn't set the qp coping correctly and left concrete everywhere (on the coping and lumps on the flat).  The ENTIRE park is broom finished, even the QP. 

Not one to complain, I hit the park with concrete sealer, pavers and the angle grinder to fix up what I could and have a sesh.  It may not be perfect but it's a fun little street spot with lights!
