Skate World

Free community skate park at the Flower Festival right behind the main Carnation Stage, next to the river at the west end of Heiwa Bridge that offers far less generic music than the usual Flower Festival fare.

Show up early in the day if you’d like your kids to have a crack at skating before the big kids take over.

Live bands and DJs throughout the day. Skate competition on May 5.

You can read a nice account by an itinerant Canadian skater who stumbled upon the park back in 2009 here (Part 1) and here (Part 2).
