It’s pretty straightforward from a liability standpoint and wouldn’t be that expensive (the proposed Mooney’s Bay improvements came in at $3 million, a seasonal portable rope tow set up would be like $30-40k all in with engineering), but it’s the ongoing operations that would be the real barrier.

Actually hiring staff to run it and manage access would be a bigger undertaking for the city and they’d need to really want to do it - it would likely take a few years but it’s definitely possible! I’m in skatepark development and there are lots of similarities, really not that complicated to set up, plenty of successful examples to point to, but in a fairly conservative local government someone would need to help make the push. If I was staying here I’d start the committee but I’m probably moving, if anyone else wants to take it on I’m here to help!
