| "…has been a spectacular success and in particular the skatepark has been, according to Kyle Ripley, Project Manager with the City of Calgary, 'more successful than anyone ever dreamed'. The site attracts up to 1000 users per day and has become an international destination for skateboarders....The carefully modulated concrete topography features areas for beginner, intermediate & expert boarders....bowls, pyramids, rails, banks, curbs and drops....The intensity of use, the endless motion and sound as kids develop their skills makes it one of the most popular public spaces in the City. It is an ideal place for watching and participating. From it's rails, ledges, wall-rides & bowls to it's pyramids, spined capsules and 30 foot full-pipe (the only one in North America), this concrete, urban youth park is skateboard heaven for every level of skateboarder." |
