A good crew came out to Millennium Park on Saturday to clean out the park from the beating it took from a harsh winter. We were lucky that the City workers helped us out and took care of most of the hard work beforehand. Thanks to The Source, C1RCA, and Element for hooking up loads of prizes. Here are some photos from the day:
Thanks to everyone who came out to Westside yesterday to clean the dirt out of the park. It’s all ready to go now. Take advantage of it because this will be the last summer the concrete park will be open!
With all the warm weather we’ve been having it’s looking like the Millennium clean-up won’t involve much snow shovelling. Bring a broom if you have one and maybe some gloves to pick up garbage.
Here’s a photo from the Westside clean up:
Westside is having a clean up of their park tomorrow (Wednesday) beginning at about 3:00PM.
The clean up at Millennium Park is this Saturday at 2:00PM.
The word from Cochrane is that the park is clear, except for the deepest sections of the bowl. Here’s a little montage for the proof:
Now that we know what’s going on with the Westside skatepark, it’s time to figure out what’s going on with Millennium Park with regards to the West LRT expansion.
According to the City of Calgary, “Through Millennium Park, the LRT will be above ground (elevated on piers) and will run on the north and west sides of the park.”
So the train will run just on the edge of what’s known as the “beginner” section of the skatepark, which is good news. Watch this video of the planned route to get a better idea:
