boon racoon Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 You probably don't know this but the massive park (Castle Park) in Bristol where EVERYONE always rides is planned to be developed. There's a big campaign to stop this because in summer it's flooded with people on their lunch sitting around, hanging out etc. It's a real nice area to have in the city centre and SHOULDN'T be developed!Obviously if it does get developed then the walls and riding spots we all know and love will be gone.So take the time to fill in this petition and help yourselves out as riders, and Bristol locals like myself from having their green spaces taken away.www.savecastlepark.co.ukpetition link :http://www.bristol-city.gov.uk/item/epetit...?PetitionID=154Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Signed.Would royally suck if they went and built over Castle Park, for both riding and chillout purposes for us and everybody else.As a relatively new guy to Bristol, it seems like the place must get busy with people through the summer, so why destroy that?Castle Park was the first place I randomly found when I came here really, and it would be such a shame to see it taken away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Riding aside, cities need green places in the centre (and not pouncy flats). Castle Park rocks, I wish Leeds had somewhere like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Dont know about your castle park but ours is awesome and i'd hate to see it built on, so I signed the petition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jang Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Also being a local to Bristol, would be shame to see it knocked down and redeveloped... However, two factors come into play.. A - The extra business it will generate for all the shops in town.. (not that i really care though!)B - This is a little more important, castle park is not really any longer a 'friendly' place to ride and chill, to many smack heads hanging around waiting to pounce on whoever is chilling/riding around there. Well thats that summed up.. I say keep castle park.. knock down the smack heads intead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelistic Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I don't live anywhere near Bristol but I've signed anyway as there's just too much concrete and not enough green spaces.Hope they don't build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 ahhh well yes ... that ll be why the locals tried to get a huge skate park built on it instead .... basically trying to get anything else there .......I dont think we would lose most of the stuff there although i didnt read any of that balls on the site ...anyway - developing is all a load of toss so i sign ....

eskimo Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 As if they didn't have enough development going on already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 signed, i love that place, even though i suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Signed - I've ridden Castle Park every ride since I moved here, and I'd be gutted to see it go. Especially as there are still some lines that need to be nailed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Done and done...Have never been to Bristol, however, i do intend to ride there in the future. But even if i didn't i would still have signed the petition. Due to the basic fact that, as someone said above, cities need green places.So, everyone else reading this topic and wondering whether they should sign the petition, get in done !Cheers,Joe.
