5:25 Friday Vine Ave closed Mc Murray Ave. to Pacific Ave. access to Vine Parkette restricted to lane way off Mc Murray ave/Vine Ave. because of downed hydro pole

Two garbage trucks attempting to pass each other on Vine Ave have knocked down a pole in front of Vine Parkette.

Skate park for Vine Ave Parkette?

As talk about a skatepark at the parkette continues…

Here our some snaps of the current Skateboard Park at Coxwell Ave and Lake-shore Blvd east. In addition to the skateboarders you can see a non skate boarding couple walking though.

UPDATE: had commenter go all heated in the posts just after posting this – urging me to talk to the skaters. (read his comments in the comments sections) Although I wonder why he got so mad at my posting of an exciting skate boarding event.  Although seems he didn’t have the time to care to go to the event and support these skaters. Note: if you have trouble with a post on thus blog, before yelling at me put your mind to action and feet to ground.

for world class small park skate yards…see
