 I'm so Excited I'm Nipissing my Pants

Just a week after my 80 skatepark run, I took a trip up to North Bay and back hitting 9 skateparks, 8 of them new! Click the Town Name for more info on the parks.

The Washago Mini ramp looks better when it's not surrounded by snow.

Burk's Falls was better than I thought it would be.

Brand new Pre-fab ramps in South River, but where's the flat rail and ledge?

Callander's skatepark is beat but fun.

Bonfield's seasonal park. It was great to be out of the sun with a light breeze.

North Bay's Thompson Park is kinda gnarly but the newer mini ramp is a great addition.

Sturgeon Falls. Where the parking lot drains onto the skatepark. Hope you like crust.

One of my patients told me about the Noëlville Skatepark.

Parry Sound Skatepark.

Parry Sound, ON

25 Great North Rd @ George St.

I've avoided this park for a long time as it has a reputation for being really bad and the town doesn't care. The most recent update/version is a big bank to a launch box and a big quarter. There's also a knee high, 4" round flat rail and an 'A' frame with rail and some DIY. The asphalt is rough, there isn't great parking access, the park isn't visible from the road and it's under a bridge. Parts of the ramps have sunk and you hit a lip coming off the ramp.  The locals when I was there were chill but could use a modern park in a better location.

Behind the arena is a pretty bad (not dispicable) skatepark with a huge bank to a small launch box and strange hip. It has 2 kinked QP's with an OK spine in between. I was excited to hit this park because an older patient told me about it.

If those quarters looked kinked, it's because they are.

Behind the Sturgeon Falls Arena @ 219 O'Hara St but best access is off Clark St.

A nice seasonal setup in a covered skating rink located in Kaibusong Park. If you are traveling south on Rte 531, go straight into the park and around the Rec. Centre building. While you're there, check out the swimming area and the rapids.
