Paskapoo Slopes Survey Results

Nov 29, 2013 | Activism, CASE News, Skateboarding, Skateparks

Earlier this year, we asked you to complete a survey about the Paskapoo Slopes area of land near COP. The City of Calgary has released the results of the survey.

Paskapoo Slopes

Although a skatepark isn’t likely going to be built on Paskapoo Slopes any time soon, it looks like skateboarding made a large impact in the survey and features prominently in the survey results.
Thanks to everyone who completed the survey and recommended a skatepark. It’s through raising awareness that we are finally seeing traction and are on our way to new skateparks in Calgary.
