 Universe Skatepark
|

* Rating: Canadian Kick Ass!
We rode this park in the summer of 2001 and had such a great session - too much fun! While most of the parks in the Montreal area ranged from boring to terrible, when we got to Universe we finally found what we were looking for: A well built park w/ tons of great lines - both inside and out.
The park has a creative design and everything rolls smooth and solid. You've got good flow around the park, with a few lines throwing you outside. Indoor is wood and concrete, good coping, gnarly/creative rails, sweet mini ramp, vert walls, all that [no big vert ramp, but that's okay w/ me]. Outdoors is a little more big-time. Lots of 7 ft walls and the best kicker I've ever riden.
There are a few other parks east of Montreal - all of them better than what we saw in the city. We checked out the new concrete park in Boucherville. We also checked out the old [boring] concrete park in St. Lambert and a new wood park in Longueuil. We'll have pics of those parks coming to the site in the next few weeks... stay tuned!
Directions: From Montreal, take Highway 40 east. Cross over the Riviere Des Prairies, and continue on the highway. Exit at Boulevard Brien, and turn left [west]. The skatepark is a few blocks down in a small shopping center, inside Universe Skate Shop. The address is 222 Boul. Brien, Repentigny. For more info call 450.581.1095.
