Attention Montrealers - Zone514

So I have just discovered what "Zone 514" is - a mini park located in Parc Jean-Drapeau that was apparently free on weekdays and then about $10 or so on the weekend.

It existed a few years ago (2008-2009) but was not rebuilt for the 2009-2010 season.

OR
http://www.zone514.com/?p=84

I have only just discovered that this exists and couldn't believe I didn't know about it this whole time! I wish that it was still up and running. During the winter my buddies and I will hike Mt. Royale and build jumps, but if Zone514 was running would definitely hit that up instead.

Was just wondering what everyone on NS knew about it, whether you guys hit it up a lot, and why it is not up and running anymore? I think that if we got a bunch of people raving about it and if word got around more maybe it would start up again for the 2010-2011.

Cool, let me know what you guys think and enjoy the Montreal summer

probably because everyone went on the weekdays and made no money.

Yeah I heard about it on TV, but it seemed so shitty, no pictures, literally the worst ad ever. I think it was on TVA. But it looks so nice, I live in sherbrooke but I would have def made the trip to ski there sometimes. If they ever build it again next year, I'll be there for sure!
