hey some really flowwy bowl shit with like massive Qps to make it look deadly would be sick because it would only make us better is we have something crazy to skate because everywhere we go its the same old 4 foot banks and 2 or 3 foot kickers and fun boxes.. lets get something different and new

This is great!! Finally someone will listen to the riders (skate & bike). My Vote is for quarters, hips & bowls 6ft (min)!!!!!

Bowls and Hips for me too. Please I have been waiting 20 yrs for this around hear. It would draw lots of riders to the area.

Is it not time that London builds a park with a bowl? Even a simple kidney shape? Hamilton just built a nice one and Cambridge has plans for a new bowl as well. It’s TIME.

We need coping and transitions

Who would do the concrete work on a job like this? This park needs to be better than the last concrete park that the city built.

Thank you to the design committee for all your input so far, and to those who have posted comments here!

As discussed at our first meeting in March, we have some restrictive site conditions so drainage will be overland, which also means we won’t be building down into the ground. We heard from the committee that the preferred style for the park would be plaza with some transition elements. With that direction and your input guiding the design, we created a concept that was presented to the committee last Thursday. The design was well received by the committee and the city alike. We have not been able to post the design to the blog yet, but the webmaster is aware of the problem and we expect to have it up here very soon.

In response to your blog comments:

We have designed a plaza with some transition elements, as requested by the committee. The focus is not transition riding, but there are transition elements and the features do make sense in their orientation to one another so there will be a sense of continuity to the riding that happens there. The design also includes many of the requested features in an overall design that is unique and adds to the existing London terrain. I don’t want to get into too many details before the graphics are posted here, but once they are I’ll describe the overall design and will be happy to discuss details further.

And, the contract for the construction of this project has not been awarded yet. What specific concerns do you have about the concrete work, Sean? I would also suggest you contact the City directly if you feel something was missed in earlier projects to offer your concerns.

Thanks again everybody for helping us create better riding terrain in London! I look forward to hearing more from you soon.
