Stanley Greene Park, Toronto, ON

Stanley Greene Park
 Toronto, ON
It's open
I had the pleasure of sitting down with the Park developer, New Line Skateparks & members of the Toronto Skateboard Committee a few years back to design a beginner level park.

Alton Pump Track

Alton Pump Track
Caledon has expanded their Action Sports Facilities with a nice pump track in the Village of Alton.
The asphalt track is pretty smooth and weaves through the woods and a mini track is also on site.
The original concept included a small concrete bmx park. This section was cancelled and the track layout is a bit different from the original design. However, a separate skate spot was built in 2021.  



Under construction.

The Slab DIY

The Slab DIY
Hit The Slab, a DIY in Whitby, yesterday making it my 380th skatepark. Here’s the rules of a DIY. If you build it, you can share the location. Otherwise, keep the location secret. Keep it clean and don’t draw negative attention to the spot. If construction is happening, grab a shovel and help.




DIY's are organic and keep evolving. 
This one sure has.
