🇨🇦The Plaza at The Forks
Plaza · Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
read at 20:00 local · weather: open-meteo
Opened in 2006 at The Forks, about 44,000 sq ft of plaza with rails, ledges, banks, steps and skateable art such as the steel 'magic carpet', plus an 8,500 sq ft bowl. Designed by van der Zalm + Associates and New Line Skateparks, it was Canada's most expensive skatepark when built ($2.5 million).
Heads up · It's a busy public site, so watch for people walking through the plaza on summer evenings.

Bring
- 1 °C → gloves until you are warm; softer wheels and tyre pressure down a touch grip better in the cold
- Always → a helmet (required at many parks and every track), and pads for transition and dirt

How the read works
We track the water on the ground hour by hour, starting two days back. Rain adds to it; sun, wind and dry air take it away (the forecast's evaporation figure, which folds all three together); frost locks it in. Concrete sheds most of a downpour and dries in a couple of hours on a good day. Dirt soaks it up and takes a day or more, and riding it while it's mud ruts it. It's a model, not a camera: shady corners and the bottom of a bowl hold water longer. Weather from Open-Meteo.
