Confederation Skatepark
Toronto, ON
For the last year, Skatepark Champions have been directing this skatepark project. The SC feedback pushed for transition as well as street features. There's been online surveys and a virtual meeting with the city, SC's and the public.
The preferred design was presented to the public at an open house at the Scarborough Centennial Recreation Centre. I think they look great and wouldn't change a thing the locals desire.
I did suggest a small deck behind the bank to curb (feature 1) to prevent the grass from being worn out. This actually led to a great discussion with the designers. He stated they'd explored that idea but due to the slope and drainage it had been left out. I said I was only thinking of a small deck, 1ft max, and not a continuation of the mini ramp deck. 'We can do that' he said.
Good to see local skaters and fellow advocates out on a cold snowy night.
Future Home of the Confederation Skatepark aka Confed (maybe).
