South Common Community Centre - Mississauga, ON

 South Common Skatepark

South Common Park, 3555 Glen Erin Drive south of Burnhamthorpe Rd W behind the soccer fields. IDK where you're supposed to park while the Community Centre is still under construction.

2.0

Here's the Beef.  It's your standard modern CRC park in a decent layout on a fresh pad with a nice buffer zone around it.

The Issues - The city left a mess after laying sod. CRC's 'A-frame' is too steep. The CRC ledges always have the issue with grinding edge.











gotta love the built in skate stoppers

I have yet to find a new CRC park where this isn't an issue. There's 3 ledges at this park. They're all like this. 


Missing Bolt?

Malton 2.0 has opened as of May 2026.

The new park has several parallels to the old park but I consider it a downgrade as there's no real ledge in the new set-up.



Overview - The new park has a mini, pump track, funbox with rail, box jump and is bookended with banks and quarters.


Boring!






The old park had a mini (kinda) and box jump (kinda) but it also had over 4 ledges. 
The only 'Ledge' is the edge of the funbox.  The coping is actually sitting well but at 18.5" high, it's an advanced feature.


Lots of room for a ledge.

Damaged fresh off the truck.


Uneven joint.

Unwelded coping sections.

Wonky side panels 

Wasted space behind the ramps.

When your skatepark arrives on pallets, you're gonna have a bad time.

Not great by any means but do the math. 
3 rails
