Closed until spring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Olympic Park\u00a0Esplanade<\/em>\u00a0has just opened a brand new sports facility: the\u00a0Vans skatepark<\/strong>. This international-caliber skatepark is located in the 900 section of the\u00a0Esplanade<\/em>, near Sherbrooke Street, and is the first such permanent facility to be installed at an existing Olympic site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 900 m2\u00a0<\/sup>concrete dome skatepark hosted the Vans Park Series, bringing some of the best men and women skateboarders in the world together for a weekend. This new installation was created by Vans in collaboration with the California Skateparks company, which has designed hundreds of such parks around the world. The Olympic Park’s Vans skatepark is one of the best places in Canada for skateboarders to practice their sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between August 2020 and June 2021, the Olympic Park invested in Phase 2 of the refurbishment of Vans skatepark. This included the construction of a street course, as well as updates to many architectural elements to improve the experience for skateboarders. The fountains next to Vans skatepark were also updated during this renovation phase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
