Notre Dame de L’ile Perrot Part 2

Kevin Cann has been spearheading an effort to expand a small skatepark in a town called Notre Dame de L’ile Perrot, a small town outside of Montreal, Quebec. It started off as a DIY-esque park with the blessing and financial aid of the town, thanks in part to Kevin’s hard work and some open minds in city hall. I had forgotten to put this story up, actually, but I’m going to do this part first. The backstory will come later. Here’s the bottom line, the first stage of the park was a success (see picture here) and Kevin used that momentum and good will to add a proper bowl to the jersey barrier foundation the park already has. Pictures after the jump, thanks to Kevin.

The bowl is on an island with a high water table. To avoid the extra cost of drainage and pumps, they built everything above ground. And among other things, they’ve got Tedder Stone on order!

This is phase one, made with jersey barriers and a little extra concrete. Off to the right you can see the pile of sand that is about hold a new bowl.

Pouring the flat first, which is not what I’m used to seeing.

This looks like they are standing in some weird room.

He’s not stoked in the least.

Still not stoked!
