My daughter had the chance to play hockey on a proper little outdoor rink for the first time this winter. It was awesome.
We don’t get enough proper cold-and-dry to have uncovered and nature-cooled rinks in North Van but I could definitely see No Shovel, No Skate.
The town I was born in had a golf course that was largely volunteer maintained. So not claiming there aren’t other activities where folks sweat to play.
Mountain bikers maintaining the trails they ride (and many other groups use) does seem to be one of the universal attributes of the activity though.
