Exeter, ON

A Bigger, Badder (worse) Grand Bend.

10 park road trip

Grand Bend, ON

Grand Bend

20 Municipal Dr

So here's the good.

1. Lots of flat.

2. 2 flat rails.

3. A big bank?

Here's the bad/weird.

1. The whole rest of the park

From the Monster Ledges to the Mid-bank rails, nothing about this park makes sense. Did I have fun? Yes. Would I ever make the trip back. Heck No!

Bring Bondo

My fave trick of the 10 parks road trip was on this thingy. Video of the trip below.

Who doesn't love a lumpy volcano?

Weird-amid- a pyramid that's just a little bit off.

3' quarters that go to vert.

Full Day Trip Edit

Saturday, 2 July 2022

At North Middlesex Arena & Fitness Centre, 256 McLeod St.

Too Much Junk.

A decent sized pad is wasted with bunch of unnecessary skate bits. The park is missing the basic flat ledge and rail.

There is, however, two jersey barriers, a tall picnic table, a curved rail and a few ledges in bad locations and a bunch of other 'back of the catalog' stuff.

Parkhill was park 3 of a ten park day.

Ailsa Craig, ON

Located at Ailsa Craig Community Park, 159 Annie Ada Shipley St.

I don't have a history on this park but here's some theories:

1. The Town started to build their own concrete park but realized they it's difficult/they suck and bought the rest of the ramps.

2. They poured the bank to ledge/bank with 3/4" coping and had wood ramps until they rotted and bought metal. There's definitely some different stuff in the Street Views.

3. What you see was the plan all along. At one point, there was a picnic table covering the bad concrete patch. Looks like it was wood with skate surface and metal. Wonder if it spontaneously combusted.
