Sunnyside Bike Park

Lake Shore Blvd W & Ellis Ave
After years of passing it on the Gardner, I packed a bike and a board and checked out Sunnyside. There's a drop-off loop with parking across the street. Thankfully I was there during Free Parking hours.
First issue was I'd left my backpack at home so I had to figure out how to carry a board and water on my bike to the park. Thankfully, a reflective belt/vest did the trick and I carried the water bottle.
Then, just as I arrived at the park, my break wire slipped out of the fitting. Guess I'm going 'No Breaks'!
The Bike Park has a modular pump track I planned on skating. It turned out to be in pretty rough condition. It's a wooden modular track with a grippy plastic surface but there's a lot of gaps and uneven joints. I couldn't ride it counter-clockwise due to one of the seams.
But I skated it. Count it! 586.
Then I hit the dirt pumper, the skinnies and the dirt jumps on my bmx.
