Halfpipe a success in downtown Annapolis Royal 4222 Ju0747 viewsThe community of Annapolis Royal has provided an Action Sports Ramp (aka halfpipe) for skateboarders, BMXers and in-line skaters while they raise funds for a permanent skatepark.
The halfpipe is located right in the middle of the downtown Annapolis Royal... beside the waterfront boardwalk, across from the Farmers and Traders Market, and just a few minutes walk from Fort Anne National Historic Site.
"Many new kids have taken up the sport now that it's been brought to the forefront in town."--André Bouchard, Active Living Facilitator, County of Annapolis
Cost to build: $1,600 plus labour
Dimensions: 24 ft long x 8 ft wide x 4 ft high
(André recommends that wider would be better, i.e. 24 ft long x 12 or 16 ft wide x 4 ft tall.)
"Me and the kids built the ramp. A few parents helped."--André Bouchard, Active Living Facilitator, Municipality of the County of Annapolis
