Pickering Indoor Skatepark
UPDATE - Follow the Pickering Mobile Skate Park at @DurhamMobileSkatepark on IG
The Pickering Indoor Skatepark is open but there are a bunch of restrictions based on the current Covid situation and city policies.
The park will be Free for the first month but have a small user fee after. This is to curb people from signing up for a session and not showing up.

DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER.
Please Read Everything!
1. Sign-ups for the first week will be restricted to City of Pickering Residents ONLY with open registrations starting March 5th for sessions after that date.
2. Please don't sign up if your in a lockdown/Grey area or should be quarantining. The system will not allow sign-ups from locked down zones.
3. Don't sign up for more than one session a day. This is due to a Ministry of Health policy that restricts the amount of indoor amateur sport activity. Staff will not allow you to skate in 2 sessions and you've blocked a spot someone else could use.
4. The system is currently set-up for 2 sessions, Max of 10 people per session on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. More sessions and days can be added as demand dictates.
5. Helmets and Masks are mandatory. Bring your own.
6. Park is open to Skateboards, Roller/Inline Skates & Scooters only at this time. The park is not yet equipped to handle BMX.
7. No spectators allowed at this time.
8. If you want to move something, just ask and put it back when you're done. The park has been laid out to promote social distancing and provide the best experience possible.
9. Everything is subject to change. I don't control the city. I don't control Covid. I can't get you in early. I have to sign up like everyone else.
10. You must register in advance on Pickering.ca/active or click HERE for your session. Search 'skateboard' or 'skateboarding' and choose a session. If you don't have an account, creating one takes less than 5mins.
We are so blessed to have an indoor spot.
We have City Staff on our side. (Thank you Jordan et.al.)
More obstacles are planned.
Have fun.
