Cloverdale Skatepark — Attraction in Surrey

Big newer park.

The large spacious size is the stand-out best-part of it.

For such a big park it is oddly flatbar'less. The quarter pipe to red metal fence, with the steel mesh surface-covering that people ride across, should have just been a regular quarter-pipe with coping. The red metal guard rail fence should get taken off and steel-tube coping embedded in the top edge of concrete.

The layout angles (hard to hit the left side of the Pier 7) could have been better.

The Pier 7's top-surface is angled upwards too much (the end of it, is too much higher than the start of it). A design or construction error. They dangled the top surfaces of things at skate parks for the water to run off, but this obstacle is completely covered by the roof and didn't need to be angled at. It doesn't skate as good because of this. People would like it and it would get so much more use if it had been level.

The rail beside the Pier 7 is a little too high. The top leg looks mis-constructed to be...longer than the lower-leg (should be the same). Shame, that's a prominent main obstacle that I don't see get as-much-use as it should.

I wish the skatepark parking-lot was paved. Dusty-mess in the dry-summer, with cars driving over it.

No water fountain. It...

This is more of a skate park. There is a really nice basketball court. Probably the best in Surrey. But it's right attached to the skate park. Went with my son to shoot hoops. The skaters seem very territorial. While we were playing some would skate right in the middle of us playing, despite a the whole use of the skate park. One even flung his skateboard on to the court. We got a little concerned so left. We could tell they were trying to budge us...

Pros:

• Open 24/7. • Roof 😛🌧️ • A Bowl Area. • Huge Flatground. • Stairs. • Rails. • Curbs of different height and length. • Smooth concrete.

Also: • Space to sit around. • Basketball field.

Con:

• Not enough light.

For some reason really bad lightning besides the roof area. They decided to put up lamps that point upwards and are also too weak.

Its still not pitch black, but better bring some extra mobile lights in case you...
