Martintown

I first drove through Martintown a few years ago on my way home from Alexandria. I then did some lurking and found I'd missed the skatepark there and in Lancaster...maybe.

Details are sparse and satellite images and street view showed ramps in various configurations, including completely missing.  The townships park plan mentions having the skatepark 'on a pop-up basis'.

Well coming though again, this is what I saw.

Welp, poop.

So I moved the plate, dropped in. Grabbed the rail and moved it to the rink and got a boardslide.

Then I scolded the town on the security camera.

Hawkesbury

Parc Memorial on Higginson St.

A re-painted CRC park with a mini, 'A' Frame, ledge & rail.

It also features Pro-Obs - The Dozer & The Planter

The Dozer

It's loud

The Planter

It exists

L'Orignal

Much more suited for BMX, it's got huge and ridiculous features.

And no ledge or rail. Been here since 2009.

But if you're looking for a massive jump box, 30' ledge or 8' QP, this is your place.

772 Front Rd West - There's a beach on the Ottawa River in the park too.

Parc Larocque on Larocque St.

A nice concrete upgrade to the old metal park. 

Still unsure who designed and built but it's a fun little park.  There were a few sand castles from the volleyball court nearby so bring a broom. Oh, it's got lights.

This park is well set up for Regular and Goofy riders. 

My only criticism on design would be this features width.  It was a bit narrow and hard to maintain control on top of. 

This extension is gnarly.

Murals on skateparks...This one is beautiful. It has texture and I has control while riding it but it is peeling off the surface.  At least they knew enough to not cover every surface with paint.

Joel Gauthier Skatepark

in Simon Park on Du Parc Ave

An old CRC park with some aged asphalt. It was probably amazing when it was new.
