Both of these sites would make great skateboard parks. Centrally located, lots of transportation, and high traffic/visibility.
ReplyDeleteWe tend to agree with Calgary Skateboarding and think that both these sites would make great skateboard parks. This is our suggestion. Please consider this when making your decision. We need to give our athletes more opportunities to develop their skills in this sport.

I would like to echo what Calgary Skateboarding expressed. No question these locations would be great for skate parks. And parks are something that Calgary very much lacks
ReplyDeleteFollowing suit, I would also like to recommend that these locations be utilized for skatepark terrain. This is definitely an area of outdoor-recreation that needs improvement in the city and these sites are perfect for the expansion.
ReplyDeleteI think that those peices of land would be perfect for skateparks. Calgary is lacking skateparks it realy only has one and it would be greatif they made anotherone so the youth of the city can have fun while getting some excersice.
ReplyDeleteCalgary is lacking skateparks and i think both peices of land would be adiquit for the job. The kids need a place to skate !
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with Calgary skateboarding, and believe that either of these locations would be great for skateparks.
ReplyDeleteA new skateboard park would be a great use of the land. Calgary is far behind many other cities when it comes to having facilities for skateboarders. This would be a great start.
ReplyDeleteExcellent locations for skateparks which Calgary is greatly lacking.
ReplyDeleteplease, please, please build a skatepark. calgary desperately needs more skateparks.
ReplyDeleteThis would be an excellent location for a skateboard park, both in the size of the land, and the area it is located in. It would be refreshing to see a local park in this area instead of more buildings and store fronts. A new skatepark would be a lasting, positive addition to the city of Calgary.
ReplyDeleteEither spot would make a prime location for a new skateboard park. This is something Calgary has been needing for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThis land would be extrordinary for our younger youth to gain better knowledge and leadership for a "indoor" skateboarding park. It is a healthy and fun activity that would be used to the fullest. Please consider this recomendation.
ReplyDeleteThe two facilitys would be especially great for a indoor skateboarding park, considering the fact that Calgary lacks skateboarding parks across Canada and that our younger generations will have a safe enviroment to become succesful leaders in our city.
ReplyDeleteBoth look like great spots for skateboard parks. Being on extremely busy roads, it's not an ideal location for any type of greenspace, so one or two small skateboard parks with protective barriers surronding it (and also added to the obstacles) would be a great use of the space and would seriously revamp that area of the city.
ReplyDeleteCalgary needs skateparks! Please, we need it!
ReplyDeleteNo question, put a indoor and outdoor skatepark on these locations.
