Tecumseh Park Skatepark

 Tecumseh Park Skatepark

AKA - SkateJam(?)

Parking lots on Palmerston St S & Russell St S

New 2023 Park - old park and video below.

(if you know who doesn't f*** it up like Aurora)

The new Tecumseh Park Skatepark (SkateJam 2.0) has an ok plaza style layout and bowl. This park is concrete but done by the same team that built Strathroy. There is better concrete work but it still falls short.

Looks really nice until you check out the detail work.

Take a little tour.

Edit of the Day

Decent Plaza layout.
Ok looking amoeba bowl.

Lots of rails and ledges.

This curved ledge's surface is unfinished. Why?

The Bowl looks pretty good. 

There's actually reveal/bonk on the coping but many of the QP's & banks are lumpy.

There's some serious issues with the concrete in this spot of the bowl. It's already deteriorating and seeping.

The steps go from wide to narrow and the rail is steep.


Random quarters seem to be a signature of CRC, also seen in Tyendinaga.

I love how the peak of the roof top bank is rounded and not in-line with the peak of the 'A-frame' ledge.

The banks here are also curved, making it difficult to time your pop.



Here's how it looked the previous year. Overall, a net increase in quality.

Edit of the 12 park day trip.
