Save Toronto's DIY Skatepark

Save Toronto's DIY Skatepark

I know of a little DIY in Toronto that is in danger of being removed by the city. I haven't skated there myself but I've heard it's fun and fast.

Toronto skateboarders have turned a derelict dead end corner into a thriving community DIY skatepark. Local businesses who support the initiative have informed the builders that City has plans to demolish the structure.

Permanent DIY skateparks have become essential community fixtures in Montreal, Vancouver, New York, Philadelphia, Seattle and various other cities. They are international cultural hubs and Toronto is missing out.

The park has spawned a community skateboarders who are dedicated to taking care of the space and integrating into the community.
