Truro skatepark concept162 viewsThe Truro skatepark features ~10,000 sqft of modern 'street', obstacle and transition elements in a site specific 'pie-shaped' configuration. Designed to be 'scaleable' in relation to construction bids/available budget, the park design also includes an optional ~3.000 sqft entry plaza area. The unique layout and detailing will be a 'first' for the area and will undoubtedly make the facility a highlight of Nova Scotia's emerging skatepark network.
Park designed by the New Line Skateparks Inc / van der Zalm + associates inc., Langley, British Columbia.
