Fish Creek Skills Park Work Party
Come and help us with improvements and repairs to the skills park. Our focus will be the singletrack skills loops, where we will work on better flow and features. Tasks will include digging dirt, building berms and bumps, and shifting rocks. For safety reasons, the skills park will be closed to the public during the work.
Event overview
We’ll start with a short safety talk at 10am and then split into small groups so that everyone has space to work and a small project to work on. We’ll provide tools and each group will be briefed and supervised by CMBA crew leads. We’ll break for lunch and take regular rest breaks, especially if it’s hot. We’ll aim to finish around 3pm, depending on weather conditions, energy levels and work progress.
What to bring
Check the weather forecast and come prepared with appropriate clothing. Don’t forget a hat & sun protection. You must wear closed-toe shoes or boots, even if it is hot – tools and rocks can be sharp and heavy! We can provide new work gloves, or you can bring your own. Please bring your own water/drink bottle to keep with you. We’ll provide some refills and snacks. We’ll also have sandwiches donated by Tim Horton’s available for lunch, or you can bring your own snacks/lunch if you prefer.
Need to know
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The safety briefing is mandatory, so don’t be late! The work will be postponed or ended early in the event of adverse or threatening weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, lightning, heatwave, tornado).
