Plaza Skateparks

 Plaza Skateparks

Plaza Skateparks are one of the newest and most popular styles of skatepark. With modern designs that fit in with the urban environment, these skateparks blend into the park rather than standing out as a separate feature. Plazas tend to reflect the urban architecture of benches, stairs and rails and plazas are the standard for Olympic Street Skateboarding.

The Plaza at the Forks in Winnipeg, MB 

The Plaza at the Forks looks so much like any other urban plaza that tourists mistakenly wander through the middle of it before reaching the other side and discovering the competition level bowl.

Thompson Skate Plaza. Richmond, BC

Thompson is a unique plaza with spaced out simple features and weird (in the good way) skateable art. Photos from Skatepark Tour. Spectrum Skatepark Designs

Features include the 'space garbage', the wedge, the peaked quarter and the stage.

The Thompson 'T' is a great ledge & manny pad. It has been reworked to be more user friendly.
