Iceland Skatepark Project - Part 2

I first announced this project on February 18, 2026 on my socials. I shared it to a load of Mississauga Skatepark users and it got quite a bit of circulation in the BMX community.

I wrote the project lead, opposing a full rebuild and making many suggestions on how to improve the park.

However, a few months later I checked out the park with a more critical eye. 

Shifting concrete, major cracks, weird construction choices along with there being only 1 flat ledge changed my viewpoint. There's a 20" high hubba. These issues may not be as problematic for BMX but skaters are impacted by them. 

Anyways, the updated designs have been released to mixed reviews.

Skaters seem to love it while BMX'ers are bummed stating 'the park's been tamed'.

Well, you've had 10 months to organize, contact the project lead, parks dept and councillors in an attempt to 'Keep the Gnar'. 

Don't come for me.

I had posted that the city pushes plowed snow onto the park.

One Garçon contested 'that doesn't happen'

You think I can't back up my claim, fucker?
