Skate Park Location
Due to the recent stretch of wet weather and frequent cancellations, our outdoor skate park classes are currently on hold. We know how disappointing this is, but we want to provide a consistent and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Don't worry, we'll be back! Keep an eye on our website and social media for announcements about new skate park classes and locations. We can't wait to get rolling with you again soon!
What kind of skates do I need to skate at the park?
For all of our classes, you are required to bring your own skates, helmet and safety gear. For those starting out, we also recommend a pair of padded shorts.
Quad skates and inline blades are both welcome and our coaches are skilled in teaching both.
For quads, a set of ‘grind blocks’ can be beneficial when learning how to drop in as they create more stability when standing on the coping. They are also very useful when learning how to stall but not necessary when you are first starting.
A set of wider trucks (the axle holding the wheels) can help you feel more stable when at high speeds; we use ‘Penny Trucks.’
For wheels, we recommend a set of small/hard wheels. Ideally 97A+ and between 54mm - 62mm. This will keep you skating fast and reduce the risk of your wheels getting caught mid-trick.
Our Designs
Did you know that all our shirts were designed and drawn by our Coach Layla?
As an aspiring artist, she finds great joy and fulfillment seeing our skaters getting around in the shirts she made! Her goal is to create unique and affordable skate shirts to be enjoyed by the greater skate community.
Her favourite design so far is the Skate Park Tee. If you look closely, the two figures are her and Coach Paige skating at their fave local, Leslie Skate Park.
Your support in purchasing a shirt is greatly appreciated. And the more shirts we sell, the more designs she can get started on!
