Skateboarding in Streetsville
If we had a skateboard park I bet Fult Tilt probably would still be here. IGA or Shopper's Drug Mart had the best curb for practicing nose and tail slides and was just one of many skate spots in Streetsville. There is a whole Facebook page dedicated to getting a Streetsville skateboard park and I would love to see it happen. Just recently people have been taking advantage of Streetsville's hills with there long board and it looks like a lot of fun. If I was a little younger I might have taken a risk and joined them but I am now bound by the fear of pavement. I hope Streetsville remains a great place for skaters and one day embraces them a little better.
Vic Johnston Community Center
Vic Johnston's was the place I first learned to skate and swim. I think I got up to a maroon swim badge and played a few games of hockey. After the resent renovations, I think Vic Johnston looks great the pool is to re-open by June 2011. In the winter the hill here is awesome for tobogganing, I am sure that many kids have gone home crying after a ride on the steep slope. In the summer the Bread and Honey festival is held here and makes a great place to spend a little pocket money. You can also check out the Streetsville salmon run and have a BBQ on the island park. It’s also available for community rentals. 905-826-3011 or e-mail info@vicjohnston.ca.
