🔨🚧🛹🥳 Slocan Park in the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood (near 29th Ave skytrain station) is set to receive a major park upgrade...including the addition of a new custom concrete skatepark by Transition Construction (@transition_construction)!

It will be replacing the outdated wading pool. This project is part 1 of the Vancouver Skateboard Amenities Strategy (passed in 2022), which aims to build a connected, inclusive network of skate facilities across the city.

The new skatepark will focus on youth and accessibility, offering a range of approachable features for all skill levels. It will be nestled among mature trees, integrating with the surrounding landscape and connecting to a new rain garden. Benches and picnic areas nearby will create a welcoming space for both skaters and spectators.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2026, following the final design review.

For more information, keep updated on Vancouver Park Board’s website here: https://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/slocan-park-youth-hub-renewal.aspx? Or, come to our monthly meetings. They are the first Wednesday of every month! The next one is Wed, June 4th 📝

Thank you to the Vancouver Park Board (@vanparkboard), Transition Construction (@transition_construction), and everyone who contributed their feedback to help shape this important community project to grow skating in our city 🛹🙌

📣🛹🆕 Vancouver Park Board (@vanparkboard) have proposed a new plaza-style skatepark as part of the Burrard Slopes Park redevelopment near the Kitsilano and Fairview neighborhoods in Vancouver. The park itself will span one hectare and incorporate areas like 6th and Fir Park, the 5th and Pine Pop-up Park, and part of the Arbutus Greenway.

The skatepark, located in the northwest corner of the park, is being designed to support all wheel types and skill levels, with features that also allow for event use. It will be surrounded by planted hills and mounded greenery to reduce noise and safely separate it from other park activities.

Public engagement has concluded its second round, with a final concept plan expected in fall 2025. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027. The project aligns with the City’s Skateboard Amenities Strategy and aims to enhance accessibility and community use.

For more updates, stay tuned to https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/burrard-slopes-park or come to the VSBC monthly meetings! They are the first Wednesday of each month at 7pm at @antisocialshop. Next one is Wed, June 4th! 📆

Huge thanks to @vanparkboard and their advocacy and effort to grow skateboarding in Vancouver!📈🛹

Regrettably, the North Shore Bike Park will shut down on March 30, 2025 😭

We have been incredibly lucky to be received as guests in their venue. They have embraced skateboarding every Tuesday, providing a dry, secure, and reliable environment for the skateboarding community. The effect of this loss on the bike and skate community is significant.

COMING SOON! Hot. Reckless. Totally Insane.

The Rio Theatre‘s deep dive into 80’s-era cinematic gold continues with the the sk8r classic THRASHIN’.

Corey (Josh Brolin) and his band of skater buddies sometimes make mischief, but they’re more interested in girls and having fun on their boards than in getting into any real trouble. Notorious enemy crew the Daggers, led by Tommy Hook, get their kicks terrorizing the locals at Venice Beach. When Corey starts dating Tommy’s kid sister, the Daggers are furious. The boys then take their beef to the “L.A. Massacre,” a deadly skate race down a canyon road. With Robert Rusler, Tony Hawke, Pamela Gidley.

Presented in partnership with our friends at Landyachtz and Jefferson’s Barbershop – so turn up in your best 80’s skate gear and maybe with trivial answers on your brain for a chance to win some killer prizes, swag, and who knows what else…

Partial proceeds from this event will be donated to the Vancouver Skateboard Coalition.

August 14 @ 7:00 pm

Tickets 🎟️ available in advance or at the door.

Bad News.

On May 8th, Vancouver City Council had rejected the West End Waterfront plan.

This was a master plan that included a covered skate park along with many other needed amenities and upgrades over the next 30 years. This plan required over 3 years of extensive community engagement and consultation.

The plan was rejected in a 5/4 vote with no feedback or clear plans for amendment.

We encourage the public to write to city council with your thoughts and feedback on this decision. We have linked the feedback portal and other related information in our bio/linktree.
