Boothfield Park - Skateboard Facility Addition

Update June 27, 2025:

This project has been tendered and awarded for construction. During the public consultation phase for this project last summer, there were 83 responses to the survey, with the majority (42) selecting Option ‘A’ as their preferred skatepark. 32 participants chose Option ‘B’. Nine (9) participants used the comments to say neither option should be built with the money better spent on other park improvements.

On street parking concerns were a common theme in the comments, but as a neighbourhood park, on street parking is preferred as these parks are intended as walk-to destinations. Requests to add additional amenities (pickleball courts, fenced off-leash dog facility) were also received and Parks & Facilities Planning will continue to look for opportunities to include these amenities in the future, either in Boothfield Park or within the extended community.

The City is looking for your feedback on a community level skateboard facility addition to Boothfield Park at 660 Boothfield Street in Ward 22 - Riverside South - Findley Creek. The skateboard facility will be constructed in the open space near the north end of the outdoor rink and connected to the existing asphalt pathway. Community-level skateboard facilities serve local residential communities and are generally smaller in scale and range of activity elements and are geared for beginner to intermediate level users.

Boothfield Park is a 2.4-hectare neighbourhood park in a newer subdivision located east of Limebank Road and south of Spratt Road in Riverside South. Current active recreation amenities include a permanent outdoor rink with four (4) basketball nets, an intermediate size sports field, a splash pad, a gazebo, a playground, swings, benches with BenchFit signage, and asphalt pathways.

The concept plans presented below are available in the document library on the right. Please take the survey below to share your feedback.
