Tsawwassen

Kevin from Sk8itup reports:
Newest park out here is Tswwassen. Its near the ferry terminal to Victoria. It was made by New LIne and its crazy good. Its similiar to Vic West, except this one has no tranny.

Sult reports from the bunker:
"I visited the Tswwassen skatepark on a recent trip, and I enjoyed it a lot for a street park. It is laid out in sort of a waterfall fashion from a top part, with ledges and rails down banks, with some tabletops and rails in between. Then there are larger banks with rails, ledges, a step up, and a huge gap going down. In between the two flat areas before the big banks is a copingless bowl congested by fly-out kids. A higher bank going up comes up after the waterfall setup and this bank is used to get speed for the step up, carving the bank-bowl, and hitting ledges out of the banks. the park lacks overall flow, but has a few okay lines, which are usually congested with people since this is a new park. My favorite obstacle was on the bottom part of a sloping ledge. The vertical park was at steep angle good for wallrides and getting into slappy-style grinds on the box. You can also launch off the wallride into a mellower bank. The major negative note is the scene. Every kid is fashioned in similar semi-long hair and mesh hat and really tight pants and a plaid shirt and is skating with pissdrunx style. This means they're all doing the same thing and hitting rails and getting in the way. Other than them are the plentiful small fly-out kids. Thankfully bikers were at a minimum. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit this park, but it is fun in the morning with not too many people or during a long ferry wait. "
