It's that time of year again!

Please note the skatepark is officially still a construction site. Please stay off the park until the signs come down and the landscaping has been completed. Once the construction site signs come down we'll be able to skate it. Be patient, the park will be good to go very soon!

SKATEPARK CLOSE TO COMPLETION –
PLEASE KEEP OUT OF CONSTRUCTION AREA

(Sault Ste. Marie, ON) Construction of the Community Skatepark will soon be complete! Once the area surrounding the concrete portion of the skatepark has been finished, it will open for public use.

Skateboarders and bikers are asked to refrain from using the skatepark until construction is finished. Police are increasing supervision of the area and action will be taken against individuals who disregard the notice to stay out of the construction area.

“We are very excited about the skatepark being close to completion,” states Nick Apostle, Commissioner of Community Services. “With the co-operation of the public, staff can concentrate on completing the work necessary to finish it.”

The skatepark is intended for skateboarders and in-line skaters only. BMX bikes and bicycles will not be permitted to use the skatepark due to damage that could be caused to the facility.
