Summer at the Skatepark 2021

Learn to skateboard for free, all summer! From July 6 to August 26, 2021 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, Skatepark Hosts will be available at the Trail SK8 Park to offer free drop in skateboard coaching.

Trail Parks and Recreation and the Kootenay Savings Community Foundation are very excited to offer this community service to people of all ages and abilities. During a lesson, helmets and armour are mandatory - please bring your own if you have them, or you are welcome to use our skateboards, helmets and armour for free. We want to encourage safety at the Trail Sk8 Park! Thank you to our major sponsor, Kootenay Savings Community Foundation, for helping make this program possible. Organized by Trail Parks and Recreation, and supported by the City of Trail and the Trail Sk8Park.

About the Trail SK8 Park

Trail Skate Park

The Trail SK8 Park broke ground on Monday, July 23, 2018.
New Line Skateparks, a Langley BC-based provider of large-scale municipal skatepark construction services, completed construction on Monday, October 22, 2018.
In the spring of 2017, CBT provided $150,000 of Recreation Infrastructure grant funding, and City Council committed $445,000 to complete the project in 2018.
Additional fundraising comes from the Society for the Friends of the Trail Skatepark of $80,000 in cash contributions and $8,500 of in-kind services, and a donation of $30,000 USD from the Murphy Family Foundation.
Donors who made a contribution of $100 or more are recognized on bronze plaques that have been installed at the SK8 Park site.
