Comments: Got this email from Chris Bright up in Halifax NS. Seems there was an old 70 style park already in place. The Halifax Skatepark Coalition got it together to upgrade and it looks like they had about 500,000 grand to redo the park and bring it up to speed. I see a great mix of bowl skating, street elements, and your basic trannie spread throughout. Would love to travel up there and get some Hurricane surf and hit this park next summer.
