Mini-Ramp Madness
The long overdue follow-up to Ontario's Best Bowls, I present a compilation of Mini-ramps, Vert and Pockets. Some are great, some are no more than two parallel quarter pipes. Click on the name/link for locations & reviews of the park. I left out some truly awful ramps & places I haven't been to yet but you can check out the full directory of 560+ parks and 1000+ point map HERE.
Updated as of Sept 2024.
Ajax - Ajax Community Centre
Alvinston
There's also a 4' mini on the open pad
Brampton

Brampton has a couple minis and a bowled-out pocket.
Brantford
Brant's Crossing has an interesting, street inspired mini and there's a metal ramp on the other end of the city.
Brighton's update included a bowl section that flows into the park.
CJ's Skatepark - Mississauga
Not too many places to find a small mini, large mini, vert ramp and bowl but CJ's has them all.
Elora
Erin
Frankford
Haliburton
Hamilton
Every park has a mini, bowl or quarter.
Ilderton
Sweet little flow park.
Kingston has 3 parks with a lot of transition but Polson has the true mini.
Kingsville
Lakefield
Listowell
London
London has some great bowls. This mini is at Kiwanis. There was a mini at West Lions but it may be gone.
Not that good. The Mini is tranny to bank with no-ping.
Flowy little park
Madoc
Central Hastings Skatepark
Markham
Greensborough-Williamson Neighbourhood Park is the best mini but Berczy can be fun too.
Crappy mini and crappier 'bowl'

Private summer camp. I've dropped in. Not reccomended.
Thompson Park
Oakville
Shell Park Whale Bowl (above), Iroquois Ridge Skatepark & William Rose Bowl.
Orillia
Souldiers Orillia's mini. RIP I think. There's another 'mini' at the outdoor. It's on the
'worst bowls' list.
Ottawa

Ottawa and the surrounding area have a lot of good parks. Legacy, Kanata & Berrigan have a lot transition. On Deck Skateboard Shop has its own mini-ramp!

Possibly the worlds best mini-bowl.
Plattsville
Port Colborne

but the best is the 12 oaks mini-bowl.

McKinney has a nice mini even though I broke my collar bone there.

Frankford mini ramp isn't very skateable lol
