Designed by Monty Little and built with Terry Snyder, it opened to skaters in August 1990 with a snake run into a 6.5 m-wide 'Snake Bowl'. Later phases driven by local skaters (the third opened in 2016) grew it past 50,000 sq ft, which the municipality counts as Canada's second-largest skatepark.

Heads up · Open April to November; the lights run until 1 a.m. on a push-button timer, helmets are recommended and mountain bikes aren't allowed. Access is through Day Lot 3.

How the read works

We track the water on the ground hour by hour, starting two days back. Rain adds to it; sun, wind and dry air take it away (the forecast's evaporation figure, which folds all three together); frost locks it in. Concrete sheds most of a downpour and dries in a couple of hours on a good day. Dirt soaks it up and takes a day or more, and riding it while it's mud ruts it. It's a model, not a camera: shady corners and the bottom of a bowl hold water longer. Weather from Open-Meteo.
