Put that 50k into the park. The WSSS mural has caused an issue with user traction. The paint and sealant used left the spot too slippery to ride. The city is addressing the issue slowly. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Update * While the winter was not a bad one, the mural did not fare that well. The paint is still very slick and there are areas that have peeled off. I reached out to the builder prior to painting and he said we needed to remove the concrete sealer with Xylene or the paint would peel. I passed this onto the artist.

The West Shore Skate Spot had a parking lot to skate spot transition of crushed gravel. As it was being installed, I contacted the city and was told 'it will be fine'. I had seen a temporary gravel transition in Arthur and the rocks ended up all over the park. A year of complaints and abrupt stops (known as rock farts due to the sound before the slam) the city finally agreed to asphalt the transition. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9k_NFhCHeb0bJgjr-m2N-ZaOpEPMrEV32A03VuDU0q-KwowhyE67sSZz_Vq083c2P6H_0ulWKtZHxTXbKTlGQQF_JLvMrUrtK3wwj5Ipnoj_c7RafDANHwk5BTtoT5WxIzf_2eb6YITn3PRDI3zKbf0JqMyhLJ98PxmfCmS0SLhWT5cD7t-dIDemuYdE/s4032/IMG_1841.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9k_NFhCHeb0bJgjr-m2N-ZaOpEPMrEV32A03VuDU0q-KwowhyE67sSZz_Vq083c2P6H_0ulWKtZHxTXbKTlGQQF_JLvMrUrtK3wwj5Ipnoj_c7RafDANHwk5BTtoT5WxIzf_2eb6YITn3PRDI3zKbf0JqMyhLJ98PxmfCmS0SLhWT5cD7t-dIDemuYdE/w400-h300/IMG_1841.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu5qE6-720i50i-zuha41ui-c4powkMlOLGDQSDqr_w0DvkszhmxvxJGqZTPqXfdQKBBzwz2L9eUW1N9Fa7l8_Nyq28INQW02sPhV_KgKMoqu8Iw4dszG5FoJjcElH-T4_ZCUj4BYJqLs7gpjB1jHMSJcpnzx1MLMEXWL7nlLcL7jFmzWhuJBQnGDTqQI/s2016/skate3.JPG" style="clear: left; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu5qE6-720i50i-zuha41ui-c4powkMlOLGDQSDqr_w0DvkszhmxvxJGqZTPqXfdQKBBzwz2L9eUW1N9Fa7l8_Nyq28INQW02sPhV_KgKMoqu8Iw4dszG5FoJjcElH-T4_ZCUj4BYJqLs7gpjB1jHMSJcpnzx1MLMEXWL7nlLcL7jFmzWhuJBQnGDTqQI/s320/skate3.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM0nJuLzzP9HLs-a0t7oD_OMrtJtY_WDEqTLFj1_sUGhfWywwJ573zepXXpQZxtkK6uNaExYQJklo0Y82bz3VsY3RlIjINNnUKqZna3NmkTmvysSQ9cLsMdqUq4ZLQSEwzQVFBRH3fLh8/s625/IMG_4331.JPG" style="color: #8ce0f5; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="469" data-original-width="625" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM0nJuLzzP9HLs-a0t7oD_OMrtJtY_WDEqTLFj1_sUGhfWywwJ573zepXXpQZxtkK6uNaExYQJklo0Y82bz3VsY3RlIjINNnUKqZna3NmkTmvysSQ9cLsMdqUq4ZLQSEwzQVFBRH3fLh8/w640-h480/IMG_4331.JPG" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; background-color: white; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">6.

I agree and believe a sculptural skate dot would be a perfect addition to the park. See examples below.

Sure.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>Update #2 - Winter has weathered the mural but not in the way the city wanted. Areas are still super slick but a lot of patches have worn off. I had contacted the builders and their advice was to used a chemical stripper to remove the finish so the paint would stick. Obviously, the city/artist didn't do this. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Throughout the planning of the West Shore Skate Spot (WSSS) The City reps and I discussed murals, Street Art and what to do with the outer wall. It was eventually decided that WSSS would be a graffiti free spot and a mural was not part of the plan but could be discussed after the park was built. We even talked about a hedge along the wall. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It came as a big surprise when I was contacted about the mural project. Not a discussion about a mural or public consultations. The mural was happening. End of discussion. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I joined the Art Jury as a stakeholder to help direct the project. I met with the City and expressed my concerns.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">1 - This spot already has some slick spots and a mural could make it worse.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">2 - The only spot that 'needs' art is the outer wall.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG56ApM-LIpLAlokMT1NbCymBpFdihIiITf_Oi0eJJ-SSX0xDR7P91NJ4Qs72MMhK0CDCzmPftRjQtMOkRh6mhEqhqrTl5-811UBHzDLDGM-319Vf8XZPqDaGwCukQDLho5hNg56vXkdCv5Z3gOb6-qfhWPGjHOMOMWu5sNHMghmL5Tut9nd5-e_4n/s320/IMG_6492.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG56ApM-LIpLAlokMT1NbCymBpFdihIiITf_Oi0eJJ-SSX0xDR7P91NJ4Qs72MMhK0CDCzmPftRjQtMOkRh6mhEqhqrTl5-811UBHzDLDGM-319Vf8XZPqDaGwCukQDLho5hNg56vXkdCv5Z3gOb6-qfhWPGjHOMOMWu5sNHMghmL5Tut9nd5-e_4n/w640-h480/IMG_6492.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">3 - Covering the entire park with paint can mess with your perception of edges. Explanation - The Belleville Skatepark was painted by Mentos (yes, The Fresh Maker) and one stair set was completely 'Blued out', making it look like a ramp. I nearly ate it. From the top it's a uniform colour, making it look smooth. Only the shadow gave it away as steps.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Additionally, low vision skaters rely on the contrast between edges to assist their skating so I suggested not painting all the surfaces.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Well, we picked an artist who, with an artists collective, did two community consultations and aerosol painting workshops. A short time later, the concept came out.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I contacted the city with 'So, I guess we're painting everything?'</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I worked with the Artist (& I must add, she worked to keep the park functional by adding a grit to the sealer). She had done other skateparks before. She worked on 8th Street Skatepark in Toronto.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I let her and city staff know there is a big difference between 8th Street, a skatepark that was built by a General Contractor, and WSSS that was built by Skatepark Experts.

Lastly, just listen to me ( other Experts & the people who use the park) from the start. I've been to over 500 Different skateparks & been a part of numerous advocacy and design campaigns. I have thousands of pictures depicting almost every obstacle imaginable. I've seen almost every skatepark problem & remedy. If I don't have a solution, I know who to ask. There are annual bowl competitions and none of them have been cancelled or impacted by a fresh coat of paint (see - Hoedown at the Hoof to AshBowlBash). It's hilarious that I've been accused of being nothing more than an 'Armchair Advocate' when locals know me as 'The Mayor' of the West Shore Skate Spot (I considered myself the custodian but I enjoyed the compliment). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>spott the looniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04242512347588284476noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204080640079020574.post-16703984691916079012023-10-19T17:19:00.002-07:002023-10-19T17:19:22.585-07:00West Shore Skate Spot Mural<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> West Shore Skate Spot Mural</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://muralroutes.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/IG_Pickering-Project_MR-675-%C3%97-375-px.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="444" data-original-width="800" height="355" src="https://muralroutes.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/IG_Pickering-Project_MR-675-%C3%97-375-px.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Join us for the unveiling on Friday October 20th, 2023 @ 5pm. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1015 Bayly St</span></p>spott the looniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04242512347588284476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204080640079020574.post-48651953748507587542023-10-11T06:07:00.007-07:002023-10-11T06:07:49.899-07:00Lively<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Lively</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">5th Ave @ Main St.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOInSnq48jZbsz1b1UncXuoDY37JJHxRIj0sy2VzN4CrIgwJqmdrYt0R4-svM3x8STfbsJMtcy5Kg1p7wzkEGWZ4NC3nqNF1lQnt7I0u1ZUr5v2gKO2U-0Cpdfo4ifJH38EMN-3UoPsCfavrqsMXAkPT2dIHNz8RB00GHJd2HjHgRpchWxu3q0QQTvmM/s4032/IMG_3588.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOInSnq48jZbsz1b1UncXuoDY37JJHxRIj0sy2VzN4CrIgwJqmdrYt0R4-svM3x8STfbsJMtcy5Kg1p7wzkEGWZ4NC3nqNF1lQnt7I0u1ZUr5v2gKO2U-0Cpdfo4ifJH38EMN-3UoPsCfavrqsMXAkPT2dIHNz8RB00GHJd2HjHgRpchWxu3q0QQTvmM/w640-h480/IMG_3588.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A pleasant surprise.

It also included questions about using the trail to get to skateparks and having skatable features on the trail.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">- The pesky stones that were placed next to the West Shore Skate Spot were removed and asphalt was laid, proving advocacy works and the city should have listened to me in the first place.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">- We did a spring clean-up of the WSSS and picked 91lbs of trash. A lot but less than half of the previous years 200. As a thanks, Red Dragon Skate sent the clean up crew decks! Show up next year😜. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">- Whitby is getting a new Skatepark and Pump Track at the new Community Centre. ETA 2025</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">-Pefferlaw is also getting a Pump Track with a small Skate Spot (it's under construction as of Sept 27). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">-Newcastle Community Park (where the skatepark is) is being finished. Initially, the Town had said they would be closing the skatepark but the park appears to still be in use.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">- Lastly, The West Shore Skate Spot is having a mural done in October so some touch-up were done to the Spot. The Artist, Fatspatrol, has just released her concept and it's amazing. I have some concerns I've forwarded to the city but I'm excited to see this project come to life. However, the skate spot will be closed while Fats works on the mural. Show some respect. Stay off the spot. Bring the artist drinks and snacks. Unveiling is planned for Oct 20.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">- Other Bits - The ground is cleared in Seaton for a future park that is supposed to have a skatepark. The Main Pickering Skatepark is still in early planning stages but due to location, it may be a plaza. Don't scoot off roofs. Free Teen Stuff pooped the bed and did not hold any skate comps this summer, despite having 2 parks. Both Alexandria and St Mary's are getting additions to their parks as we speak(sept 2023).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Keep in touch at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pickeringskateparksalliance/?hl=en" target="_blank">Pickering Skateparks Alliance</a> on IG.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've been busy with my own project but I'm still actively advocating!</span></div>spott the looniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04242512347588284476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204080640079020574.post-66868412313332935802023-09-07T10:41:00.000-07:002023-09-07T10:41:13.207-07:00Cornwall Road Skate Spot<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Cornwall Road Skate Spot</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">425 Cornwall Road, Oakville</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">A nice little moonscape flowy bowl.</span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was a long road to get this park. It was proposed by a local scooter rider a while back. When council approved the project, the plan was to go pre-fab, like several of the older parks in Oakville, even though the two newest parks were concrete and very well done. Council was hit with a few emails suggesting going with concrete and the change was made. RFP for design was put out and cancelled for lack of competition. The RFP was put out again and Newline designed the concepts. It was put on the city's website for a vote. The promotion was terrible and only 34 votes were cast in two weeks. Most chose the Moonscape, 3 chose neither. RFP for the build was put out and cancelled due to lack of interest. When it was put out a 2nd time, Pro-pour Concrete out of Nova Scotia got the contract. When I posted that the park would be built (good news, right?), locals vented their frustrations at me. Well ass-hats, you didn't pay enough attention to the project in your own backyard. Remember, don't shoot the messenger. Especially when he's smarter than you.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7S6coepMs35nptKeA1yjfLTkkpLTHyEbevEknmDEdvXdYOnBXqXAjfpC1ldJ8et6cI2tUFE-m4kShwfV6gJy4rQHLzzMWsnQiYHKIJdMlM_hreXJX1xDJeHH7aE6EWVkPXBZdOuKBT7JN2BTosGzXc8XtVRD-gTnn0QGRvi-KEpHdojvUKf63o9xesM/s1440/DD893563-6936-48DF-8A20-8127378D5E2A.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1440" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7S6coepMs35nptKeA1yjfLTkkpLTHyEbevEknmDEdvXdYOnBXqXAjfpC1ldJ8et6cI2tUFE-m4kShwfV6gJy4rQHLzzMWsnQiYHKIJdMlM_hreXJX1xDJeHH7aE6EWVkPXBZdOuKBT7JN2BTosGzXc8XtVRD-gTnn0QGRvi-KEpHdojvUKf63o9xesM/w400-h266/DD893563-6936-48DF-8A20-8127378D5E2A.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>spott the looniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04242512347588284476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204080640079020574.post-78240359406159995182023-08-18T13:49:00.000-07:002023-08-18T13:49:55.584-07:00Rennie Rink Drop Spot<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Rennie Rink Drop Spot</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">is a small seasonal drop near High Park.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGrcXPH4ijSXiXTOiJscefoKBYAKQa_M6OOS8qp2wNBYGvOKYgdCU8rgcLMy1A61AhKWVZECeY7lEFldMdGbfyCcEB7gaCKv-uKkCmqBDsI0We-YLfaLa5GLYzXGON5MRd6yGLarSeBaHm1gYKqL086xVhgmh-W-vIGJg3EiqRoZHHlsz3hYIEq8Yz4oo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGrcXPH4ijSXiXTOiJscefoKBYAKQa_M6OOS8qp2wNBYGvOKYgdCU8rgcLMy1A61AhKWVZECeY7lEFldMdGbfyCcEB7gaCKv-uKkCmqBDsI0We-YLfaLa5GLYzXGON5MRd6yGLarSeBaHm1gYKqL086xVhgmh-W-vIGJg3EiqRoZHHlsz3hYIEq8Yz4oo" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiuW0X8kV6sDEH_ZND7PHEUvCD2EkoJMHDBcwioITmBW82NIoi2z01fdb8inhRaYbbxeavfFRf1o66Ns7W0WBBvBFbPS9R646GoxriOB37hrzWuR6UTA2kjAwSG4ZAh4Xrt-QFDcKDHEcS1L0TqUZbsUHnwafIZqzSYE4-pXxqsuY6FKcw0fKjJCMCd7WU" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiuW0X8kV6sDEH_ZND7PHEUvCD2EkoJMHDBcwioITmBW82NIoi2z01fdb8inhRaYbbxeavfFRf1o66Ns7W0WBBvBFbPS9R646GoxriOB37hrzWuR6UTA2kjAwSG4ZAh4Xrt-QFDcKDHEcS1L0TqUZbsUHnwafIZqzSYE4-pXxqsuY6FKcw0fKjJCMCd7WU" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEic0V2xJ9uqxfVzKOjXs4z3TZhrakrVXalYwzYyi1jRHMsnSssgLfeVfZQGGXiUiJ2pOwSSEARqPjBMQUc2OSI22GApXz4DWRJG9E2xT8miwLPgHwCkckLyvHni72DWRkPj4oQEAMSArolWH4hLvbRxbtLH19cPDcfgwkHY-4ejPqybGnRJFEw7w4lFiPg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEic0V2xJ9uqxfVzKOjXs4z3TZhrakrVXalYwzYyi1jRHMsnSssgLfeVfZQGGXiUiJ2pOwSSEARqPjBMQUc2OSI22GApXz4DWRJG9E2xT8miwLPgHwCkckLyvHni72DWRkPj4oQEAMSArolWH4hLvbRxbtLH19cPDcfgwkHY-4ejPqybGnRJFEw7w4lFiPg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>spott the looniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04242512347588284476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204080640079020574.post-22101394699415138892023-07-15T09:04:00.000-07:002023-07-15T09:04:02.232-07:00Ramp to Rail Pop-up Skatepark<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Ramp to Rail Pop-up Skatepark</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The <span style="text-align: left;">Ramp to Rail Pop-up Skatepark is used at various events around the GTHA.
