Newmarket just got what all skatepark users deserve ( & will now demand). This park features all the basics and several versions of each (rails, ledges, quarters) and gives you almost everything else you could want.  The large park is well spaced, with well spaced obstacles, lots of curbs and a sick bowl. There's also a gentle ramp to the top for WCMX. There are 2 shaded seating areas, a waterbottle filling station, a solar power charging station (& I've heard lights are coming. shhh!)

Lakeshore, ON

 Lakeshore, ON

Lakeshore sits on the south shore of Lake St. Clair. Two communities have skateparks (so far).

Belle River

Optimist Park on Notre Dame St

Stoney Point

Stoney Point Community Park, 880 Comber Sideroad

Stoney Point Skatepark - Lakeshore, ON

Lakeshore, ON

In Stoney Point Community Park, 880 Comber Sideroad.

2026 - Stoney Point has some work done.  Fresh asphalt pad but the ledges and rail are gone.  


No more pea gravel on the mini!

The replacement bolts are mini skate-stoppers.

2022

Similar issue as Belle River. Rough concrete, bad ramps, but the gap between the deck and the coping on this mini was full of pebbles that popped out when you rode the ramp. Rock farts anyone.

Belle River Skatepark 2.0
In 2026 the Town of Lakeshore relocated the park into Optimist Park and got new ramps.  They are loud and with the park being closer to residences, neighbours are pissed.
I added a Decibel app to my phone and reached 136dB.

I wouldn't post it if it wasn't good.


OG Park
it pre-dates Canadian Ramp Co (ARC).
This park is set to be decommissioned. Currently fenced off.
Every problem a modular park could have, all in one single park.
Really rough asphalt.
Rust
Protruding bolts.
Big cracks.
Knee high flat bar.
Poorly placed obstacles.
This place has it all!!!

The big box was placed on a concrete pad.

Huge, wheel swallowing cracks on the approach.

Bumpy


K, how do I hit the stairs?
