Reppin Bolton

Labella and I recently had the opportunity to help plan, and design the new skatepark being built in Bolton, Ontario. The township of Caledon had a few meetings with the local skaters, and brought in a design firm to get started on some plans for the new park.

We didnt make it to the first meeting, but that wasnt a huge problem, because we hit the second one hard. It was obvious that the park was pretty un-skateable, and we knew that we could change that.

We set up a smaller third meeting, with the designer, town counsil, the rest of the KBS team and a few others. We came prepared with scale drawings and layouts of the park we wanted to build.

We were amazed at open they were to our ideas, and actually willing to design what we had brought to the table. John, Phil and I completely re-worked the whole bottom half of the street section, added our own obstacles, and gave the park a much more skatable, flowing design.



They have already started construction, and they say it should be done towards the end of november. Its really a simple design, so I dont see any problems with that. We all know that skatepark deadlines are really just up in the air. Cant wait to skate it though.
