Gailea Momolu Skateboard Park

As the Light Rail Transit (LRT) project finishes, land that was used for construction is now free to restore. A large construction space at the southwest corner of Trillium Park in Ward 11 is becoming open again. before the LRT project, this site was a soccer field.

The current Gailea Momolu Skateboard Park is north of this area, near the southwest end of the parking lot. The skateboard park is worn down. Site features are degraded and do not meet the needs of skateboarders. The park is not reflective of a focused, modern facility that fits into the diverse range of skateboard parks across the city.

The new skateboard park will be built in the southwest corner where the construction space was. It will connect to nearby pathways and the Multi-Use Pathway (MUP) that runs beside the LRT east of Blair Station. Most of the trees will stay. The new driveway will provide emergency access to the LRT and parking will be added along the west side of the park. The existing skateboard park will be turned into parking space.

Visitors will enter the park under a large custom shade structure with seating and storage features.

The skateboard park will feature plaza-style, low impact-low consequence features that can be incorporated into more complex combinations to suit a diverse range of users.

An open bowl mini ramp feature will be located on the south side. A full list of features can be found on the attached concept plans.

The park will blend into the landscape with passive space provided for people to watch and gather. Land forms such as small berms will help define these areas and uses.

Full funding for this project has not yet been secured so the construction timeline has not been finalized.

Please note that the final park layout may differ from the presented concept. Public consultation responses, technical detailing, supply availability and financial constraints are some of the factors that may influence a change.
