We went there yesterday to check it out-and it had been bulldozed flat.
Here's my kid ready to cue the sad song: "This Used to Be My Playground"

It was safe, fun, smooth, no nuisance (garbage/fires) and those dudes put in a lot of work. Not really a useable lot for development (no real street access). Sad to see it go.

Invergarry nearby was still fun.

Sad end to 604. Your boy's face says it all, that life isn't fair sometimes.

That said, Invergarry used to be a great place to take the wee ones. Hit it up yesterday, and it really grew over the winter. I used to be able to hit 80% of the dh trail, with my son following up and over all the tables. Yesterday I rode past the new builds wondering where the fuck the non-daredevils can get their kicks these days.

Yes, shovel buster is giant now.

According to sorce, "Alpine will begin Run bike line, green [HTML_REMOVED] Blue jump lines construction in mid-late April 2014"

Not sure what a "run bike line" is but sounds like it's for the wee ones.

try the shore.

We received word from the City of Surrey that the 604 is about to be "renaturalized" by the developer of the townhouses next door. It was fun while it lasted folks, but it looks like the end of that unofficial riding spot…. Enjoy this video of it turning one year old from way back in February of 2012

You should rebuild it with your creatine pecs and that new chainsaw.

I dug and rode there in 2012,used to spend lots of endless hours there .
I thought it was a hoax it is gone.Parking was bad there residents did not like old vehicles ,that leaked oil.
One time this lady came out from the NE newer condos near the free way and asked what im doing this is dangerous for the kids 10 $ says it was her that got it shut down.
I was not rude i said this is great for kids to develop skill and exercise.
We would have timed races on the biggest lungbuster of a track.
Has inspired me to build my own just not sure about making it all con cave and how to design .
