🇨🇦Vancouver Skate Plaza (Downtown Skateboard Plaza)
Plaza · indoor · Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
read at 18:00 local · weather: open-meteo
A 2,000 m² street plaza under the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts, opened in 2004 and upgraded in 2011, with replica rails, embankments, curbs, walls and steps in granite, brick, concrete and steel. Complex magazine ranked it #21 on its 2013 list of the world's best skateparks.
Heads up · The viaducts overhead keep most of it dry in the rain, but the city has long planned to remove them and replace the plaza, so check the city page before a trip.

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.
