For free/pickup: mini ramp– 4 sections (8feet wide) of 4foot mini along with 4 sections (8feet wide) 6foot mini. All these pieces are in structurally sound condition, just need flat bottom, decks and a new topsheet. The total foot print of this ramp once put together would be 16feet wide (8feet of 4feet and 8feet of 6feet). This ramp is free for the taking and is located in the field at Inglewood Community Centre 1740 24th Avenue S.E. First once there to grab it and load it, gets it. These sections are heavy and it will take at least 4 humans to move each section. Our plans to work with the Inglewood Community Centre to build this ramp at the centre fell through.
The City of Calgary is planning four new recreation centres and are looking for feedback on what they should include. If you go through the questionnaire, you’ll see that “skateboard parks” are included in the plans for the NW and Seton facilities. It wouldn’t hurt to suggest that more skateparks are needed though!

There is an information session for the facilities on Thursday, September 15 from 6:30 – 9 p.m. at the Silver Springs Community Centre (5720 Silver Ridge Drive N.W.)
