Westside Skatepark Details

Monday, August 30th, 2010

If you haven’t hit up the skatepark at Westside Rec Centre yet, you should. By all accounts, it’s far better than the old Westside park. Granted, it’s not concrete, but the mini ramp rivals the now-defunct Source Skatepark ramp.


Here are the hours:

Until September 2nd 10AM – 9PM

September 2nd to September 30th Monday to Friday 4PM – 8PM

Weekends 10AM – 8PM

Holidays 10AM – 8PM

Helmets are required at all times and it’s free to skate there. Skateboards only. The address is 2000 69 St SW. The skatepark is behind the rec centre, adjacent to the soccer field.
