THUNDER BAY – A plan to build a skate park where the Dease Pool once stood has cleared one of its last remaining obstacles, rolling on to a final round of public consultation before becoming a reality as soon as next year.
“That hasn’t quite happened, has it? It’s probably one of the highest-used recreation facilities in the entire city.” "I grew up less than one block from the Dease Park site," he said. "That park, that pool is what saved a lot of our lives. That’s where we met, that’s where we felt safe from the drug trade and everything else surrounding us."
“It’s not just straight white male skateboarders anymore. We have a good influx of female skateboarders, older skateboarders... I’m 41 myself, and I’m not even the oldest guy in the park anymore.”“You said this urban plaza is a meeting place for all,” she said. “If I want to go there and have a picnic, I’m not necessarily going to skateboard, because I’m not 41. I probably would fall down.
