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 640+ parks and 1000+ point map HERE.
Updated as of June 2026.
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 but CJ's has them all.
Driveway Skate Shop has a nice indoor Mini and the mini-bowl at Gellert is very popular.
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.
A 7ft and double mini with bad coping.
London has some great bowls. This mini is at Kiwanis. There is a mini at West Lions with some plans for pre-fab.
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.
Mississauga
Crappy mini at Port Credit. New metal mini at Malton. Zonta Meadows Flow Park opens in 2026 and CJ's is in Mississauga.
Crappy mini and crappier 'bowl'
Private summer camp. I've dropped in. Not recommended. Now Decommissioned.
Thompson Park
Shell Park Whale Bowl (above), Iroquois Ridge Skatepark, William Rose Bowl, Cornwall Rd Skate Spot and 16 Mile have all the transition covered.
Souldiers Orillia's mini. RIP. There's another 'mini' at the outdoor. It's on the 'worst bowls' list. New skatepark with a bowl now under construction (June 2026).
Ottawa and the surrounding area have a lot of good parks. Legacy, Kanata & Berrigan have a lot transition. On Deck Skateboard Shop has its own mini-ramp! Stefan Wenek saved the pre-fab mini with the park upgrade.
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 for now. Amazing bowl at Lake Wilcox.
Hidden gem in the middle of no where.
If you like mellow, kinky minis with no coping, this is the place for you.
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. Recent patches are less than stellar. Whitby Sports Centre will have a skatepark with bowl & pump track.
Woodstock
I had to throw in this crazy flow section.
