 Coquitlam
|
* Outdoor: 'Crete [+ lights!]
* Free
* Trannie / Street
* Rating: It's pronounced "Go-get-some!"
Heads up on this park - the locals love it. Ask around the Vancouver area a bit and you'll hear it over and over: "Go to Coquitlam - that place is rad!"
It's a great park, all right. Not too big, but packed full w/ tons of terrain for all types of riders, it's no wonder its the flavor of choice for a bunch of BC riders. In fact, word on the street is that butter-smooth Rick McCrank hits up this park fairly often. Check out the pics below - we did a pretty good job of covering this park, despite some May showers that sent us running back to our hoopty ride.
If you're headed over that way, there are a gang of other spots to hit up while you're in the area: NorVAN has Seylynn, Griffin, and the newly completed Parkgate [that park is rad!] to check out. To the south, there are good parks in Brookswood, Whiterock, and Richmond. Finally - if you've got anymore gas in the tank or pop in your ollie - the brand new meatgrinder over at Hastings will surely finish you off!
Directions: From Vancouver, take Hastings Street east to Highway 1. Take HWY 1 east to Highway 7 [Lougheed HWY] north. Highway 7 will turn into Pinetree Way. Continue northbound and pass through the Guildford Way/Pinetree Way intersection. On the right is Town Centre Park with a lake. Make a right [east] on Pinewood Avenue and find a parking spot. The skatepark is just north of the lake.
