Newline Skatepark : The Forks
Covering a total area of over 44,000 square feet, This park consists of a 30,000 square foot skate plaza and a 8,500 square foot bowl complex. This park was designed by Newline Skateparks and opened on June 30th, 2006
The Central Plaza features terrain inspired by famous international skate spots in places such as San Francisco, Barcelona, Japan and beyond. And, the main plaza area is made up of a combination of various stair sets, banks, rails and ledges set within a host of custom sculptures and other art pieces - the majority of which are skateable.
Particular highlights include the notched vert wall, the “Magic Carpet” - a super elevated concrete ribbon track, granite capped ledges and blocks.
The bowl complex is a one of a kind 8,500 square foot bowl unit combining traditional pool and modern coping lines. Walls begin at 5 feet and progress through a series of hips, elevators, extensions, and a pump bump to a massive 17-foot cradle and 13 foot over vert pocket. (source)
I’m not sure about the location of the park, but this one looks really exciting to skate ! Don’t miss the other photos, some modules are really original !

[...] On June 28th, Winnipeg, Canada held an official grand opening for what may very well be the best skatepark in the world. I’m hyping it without having visited it, but from looking at these photos and others, it appears that New Line has executed on the skate plaza concept better than any other builder to date. Watch some photos here [...]
