Looking at something different from the traditional skatepark setting this skatepath proposal starts at the top of the site flowing along two skatepaths that provide a variety of obstacle play. The paths then merge together past the trench area and continue down to a more street orientated strip and with end Quarterpipe. A mixed texture pathway that runs adjacent to the picnic and playground areas takes users back to the top of the site effectively while providing valuable circulation across the site.
"The Mangakino Skate Facility integrates harmoniously with an existing public square and consists of a range of miniramps and innovative ramp features including the 'shark tooth'."
