  As a beginner skateboarder, the variety of obstacles was really good. There was stuff that was fun for me to practice and there were some really nice skateboarders who were more experienced that helped me. Would recommend going here, but I'd say that its probably a good idea to not bring much stuff with you because there isn't really a safe place to keep your things.

  If you're a lover of graffiti and murals, you should definitely check this place out. You can practice basketball and skateboard at this place. It has a small play area for children in the opposite end of the underpass park. You can enjoy the sunset and evening at this place. Usually farmers market are hosted on some days.

  I am amazed of the beautiful murals and graffiti in this park. I enjoyed looking each images. Even it was a bit raining when I walked by. There are lots of things to do. Some restaurants in the area. I saw people skateboarding, biking, or simply walking withe their pets. There is huge green park in the area too. Transportation is very convenient. I highly recommend this place to visit or stroll.

  There are 3 main reasons to come here: 1. For the skateboarding or basketball. 2. For the street art. 3. For the farmer's market. All are perfectly reasonable and depending on your motive, it's unlikely you'll be terribly disappointed in what you get. For skateboarders, it's not an exceptionally challenging or exciting park, but it has good obstacles for beginners and novices, and you can do some decent lines even if you're experienced. The crews here are usually pretty chill, just don't get in the way of the guys who know what they're doing. On weekdays during the school year, it's usually empty so it's a great time to practice. Being covered is great to skate and hide from the sun in summer! The street art is bright, vibrant and varied. While you'll see pieces by some of the biggest writers and artists in the city, most of it's not authentic graffiti. It's all sanctioned by the city and done in a very pleasing way for people who generally hate graffiti, so even if you don't like graffiti and think it's illegal rubbish, you'll probably enjoy this. The murals and pieces change every so often, so come back in a year and it may be all different. The farmer's market is decent too. It's not sprawling and intense like some of the other ones around the city, but for the neighbourhood, it's very good and saves locals from going to the St. Lawrence market.
