It appears that Mt Trashmore isn't quite a stable as expected ...

Yet, I bet many who've lived in that area, or close to it, or know anything about the environment, would have predicted that it was unstable.

I had wondered why they were building anything out of concrete when it was first designed, and my feelings at the time, were, "This won't last 5 or 10 years." Hate being right on this. Everything else about the park should be ok, as long as it doesn't explode....

Waterloo adding three more skateparks

Quote:There will soon be more options for skateboarders in Waterloo. 

The city is planning to add three more skateparks. 

Three locations have already been selected for the new action sports parks: 
  • Albert McCormick Community Centre 
  • RIM Park 
  • Stork Family YMCA/John M. Harper Branch Library
