City Skate Park

City Skate Park

Located at the corner of Trans Canada Highway and Lonsdale Avenue, the City's 16,000 square foot Skate Park is unlike conventional skate parks. This new facility is considered a "pure street park" and draws enthusiasts from across the Lower Mainland and North America.

The Skate Park was designed with input gathered during several youth focus sessions. It resembles an urban plaza complete with curbs, walls and ramps. There is a skate-able public art piece called the "Wave" and an environmental bio-swale to slow down and filter run-off into Wagg Creek, a nearby fish-bearing stream.

Officially opened in May 2004, the Skate Park is a popular venue for skateboarding clinics and camps. A Youth Advisory Committee has been formed to ensure the park appropriately and continually meets the needs of the community.
