Amherstburg, ON

 Amhurstburg, ON

3495 Meloche rd @ Simcoe St

Libro Credit Union Arena Grounds

EDIT - A 5ft mini ramp has been added.

The deck and flat bottom of this mini was so warped that it bounced.





What if we made an 11ft ledge?
Better idea. What if we made an 11ft ledge out of our 8ft & 3ft ledges?
Won't that create a gap that would be hard to skate?
Who cares



Riverside Skatepark - Detroit, MI

Grindline knocked it out of the park with Riverside Skatepark. It has everything. There's a ton of features that replicate Detroit Street Spots, a big section, small section, flow mini, bowl with pool coping.





Small Section


I love an 'A' frame Pole Jam


Bank to Train Rail


Water! Who would have thought. Fountain, water bottle filler and even a bowl for pups using the dog park.
Plus this place has a great shade structure and lots of picnic tables. You can get a permit for the gazebo.
First Skatepark I've ever hit with BBQ's
Oh, it's also got lighting.

Big section.

Kicker Gap in the Shadow of the Ambassador Bridge

This park is so nice I was shocked to find out Hardcore Skatepark (part of the CRC family) was involved. Get your Canadian cousin in line, geez.
Anyways, it's got all the standards and so much more. Each individual section of the park could be its own skate spot.  



From L - R.  
A nice section of small rails and hubbas. The flat was extended into the garden so you can hit both sides of the hubba, making neat planter gaps.
A 3 flat 3 stair with hubba, Chandler Sign Gap & kicker gap.
A cool transition feature with small QP's, roll-in and QP with pool coping.

Brick Stamped QP hip




Long Rail and Steep Bank


From L - R
Ledges, QP, manny pad, Brick bank hip, bank to ledge, ride on ledge, 5 set with rail.


Step-up gap, brick hip and rock kicker.
