Playspot ideas

[Mike]

How simple could this be?

Note the top picture, a little wall to hold water back in order to raise the level, a mid river obstacle to increase speed and create a drop.

Looks similar to a couple of nearby places

Just a little tweaking and bang! Something for all levels...

Secord? Junction Creek? Lower end of Stinson? Looks like they can be made with concrete forms. Or you thinking of buying some?

Just need to move the big rock at stinson to build the wave.

Hydro dam going in on Capreol rapids. Playspot?

Someone should see if a playspot is in the plan!
If not we need to make it happen

I'm not too sure what you guys are envisioning. Are you suggesting that somebody (we?) approach somebody (whoever that would be) and advocate for the development of an official playspot, preferably with RapidBlocs? Or are you just using this as an example of what can be done with forms/concrete/rocks on a local scale?
I'm in for getting something going; in either case.... Mike had me at "all levels" :-)

Dream come true

Now the location.
My choice for an easily accessed area would be the river right channel of the Vermillion River at Centennial Park.
Decent grade, volume and length for a multi role location.

Great idea...there's a great wave to surf half way down. You a rope to get to it. It is a bit shallow and rocky when the water is low.
