Washago, ON
Washago has always been my gateway to The Muskokas and I thought it should have a skate spot. Summer of 2020 saw the addition of a Mini-ramp and pump track to Centennial Park.

Alliston, ON
I had never been to Alliston to skate but I had heard the old wood park had burned down long ago and there are plans for a concrete park. In the interim, New Tecumseth, has purchased doubles of a few ramps and placed them in Alliston and Tottenham.
Old article state construction of the new concrete park is slated for 2021 but the groups social media hasn't been updated since 2019 and the fundraising budget of 1M looks a long way off.

Mini-Ramp Madness
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.
There's also a 4' mini on the open pad
Brampton has a couple minis and a bowled-out pocket.
Brant's Crossing has an interesting, street inspired mini and there's a metal ramp on the other end of the city.
Not too many places to find a small mini, large mini, vert ramp and bowl but CJ's has them all.
Every park has a mini, bowl or quarter.
Sweet little flow park.
Kingston has 3 parks with a lot of transition but Polson has the true mini.
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
Central Hastings Skatepark
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
Shell Park Whale Bowl (above), Iroquois Ridge Skatepark & William Rose Bowl.
Souldiers Orillia's mini. There's another 'mini' at the outdoor. It's on the 'worst bowls' list.
RIP I think.
Ottawa and the surrounding area have a lot of good parks. Legacy, Kanata & Berrigan have the most transition.
Weird Park. Metal Mini that's been upgraded to a half bowl but downgraded due to a hole in the ramp
Pembroke
Pocket and mini
Peterborough
Big, old and gnarly
Possibly the worlds best mini-bowl.
Rama has some parallel walls if you're desperate.
Giant mini at Richmond Green. Amazing bowl at Lake Wilcox.
Hidden gem in the middle of no where.
This shot does not do this park justice. Click the link.
Stratford All-wheels park. Phase 1.
Greater Sudbury has a bunch of parks, some of them are terrible. Some have mini's.
This is Delki Dozzi Park.
Grab some Cider
Vaughan has some strange 'minis' at Carville Mill & Village Green
but the best is the 12 oaks mini-bowl.
McKinney has a nice mini even though I broke my collar bone there.
Woodstock
I had to throw in this crazy flow section.
