Eugene Martineau Skatepark


Eugene Martineau Skatepark

Eugene Martineau Park
710 Mikinak Rd

A 'V' shaped pre-fab park. Not a terrible layout. Typical pre-fab issues like noise, low coping and the rail that's higher than it should be.
The Willy Santos DIY Curb Spine is actually fun. 


Classic CRC CBD (coping below deck)

Concrete support at the transitions.

This must be a 'Gen 2' version of the Willy Santos DIY Spine as the one on the website appears taller with a different curb.

Nearly died on this thing before the camera was rolling.lol



As much as I don't like most of crc's products, I wouldn't kick this one out of bed for farting.



I like this textured threshold between the walking path and the skatepark.

Greenboro

Greenboro

on Conroy Rd north of Johnston Rd
warning - There's no parking here. You can try the railway access or the abandoned go-kart track across the street. I parked nearby in front on the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau. Lots of cameras around in case someone dings your ride.😛






Nothing like a big drop Hubba to make yer hair stand up.



Bridlewood

@ Eve James Memorial Community Centre
65 Stonehaven Rd
A bunch of CRC SOLO ramps (must've been on sale back in the day, Ottawa's crawling with them).
No Ledges.
No Flat Bar.
I can't recommend even coming here to skateboard.








Rouncey

Rouncey Park on Rouncey Rd
Ottawa, ON
Short a ledge. I think these ramps have been internally insulated for decreased noise.






Nearby toboggan/bmx hill

This hurt more than it looks like. I missed a feeble stall, got squirrelly and ended up sliding out and my board kinda crushed my hand. Off camera of course.

Arrowdale Skate Spot

 Arrowdale Skate Spot

375 Rawdon St
Brantford, ON
A fantastic little spot in a redeveloped community park with a playground, splash pad, washrooms, trails and dog park.
I have only 2 real critiques but I would not be bummed if this was my local.
Park 617! Let's Go!
Hi! It was a really nice day

Here's a tour


The spot features a QP, Ledge, Bank to Ledge and a fantastic central feature.  It does not have a flat rail.
The central feature has slappy sides, a long low ledge, bank to bank with coping making everything perfect for ride-on grinds and slappys.


Perfect QP. I would have liked more deck. I don't know why the back of the decks are beveled but I like the look of it.




Perfect Ledge.
One thing I would have done is inset the ledge 6-12" to hit the back side like Pefferlaw.





Here's some clips!


Happy Earth Week!



If there's a tree, I'm going to climb it.
I give it a 7/10.
A flat rail would have made it 8/10.

Brantford Rotary Bike Park


Brantford Rotary Bike Park

Brantford Rotary Bike Park is located at 390 Grand River Ave. Lots of parking. Open May to October.
I didn't get to ride the park.  There's nothing for skateboards and even if I had a bike, it was closed with work being done on the dirt jumps.  It looks like lots of fun and I wanted to add it to the Pump Track & Bike Park directory.
