Leeside Skatepark

So I’ve been to many other skate parks and this one is decent because almost everything there is just quarter pipes and half pipes which can get boring kinda fast, but they do have a little box jump in the middle of the skate park which is nice to do and really smooth. Sometimes in the future I do come here because when it’s raining or when it’s wet, I come here because the skatepark is located in a tunnel under E Hastings st which is nice.

Could use a bit better drainage. Decent spot. Out of the way and not too busy

We heard a lot about this park and how we needed to check it out while we were visiting Vancouver for the summer. The park can be tricky to find if it’s your first time there. The park used to bean old viaduct via a tunnel which they converted in to a skate park in honour of a slain artist/passionate skater. Check this place out if you have the chance just for the artwork.

Can't comment on how fun it is to skate there since i haven't tried it myself but love the art though

I love the art and that there are places like these for artists to display their Talants, the art work is changing continually so it's a very cool place to photograph graphite.

Legendary skate spot, every skater in Canada knows about this spot or has seen it in videos or photos at one point. Not just skateboard vids, snowboard vids too! Was an absolute joy to finally visit this place, lots of incredible local graffiti, and the vibe there is epic! They also have lamps so once it’s dark, you can still chill there and have a good time!

Located in a tunnel so it’s great for the heavy rains in Vancouver. Park is DIY so kinda an unforgettable experience. Love this place. I’m a street skater and it’s mostly transition but it’s built in such a unique way that there’s lots of creative possibilities.

Great park super unique and fun to use. Gets moisture on it during the winter a lot but otherwise great.

Great little skate park tucked under Hastings. Recommended if you want to avoid the elements.
