Skateboard Park Study

The City of Hamilton completed a Skateboard Park Study that created a standard process for selecting new skateboard facility locations across the city. Public input was gathered through an online survey and public sessions to help create criteria for locating new skateboard/wheeled sports parks n Hamilton.

The Skateboard Park Study results provide a better understanding of:

• Concerns, needs and preferences of park users and residents
• Options for future skateboard parks in Hamilton

Next steps

The Skateboard Park Study will inform location and design decisions for future skateboard/wheeled sports parks in the city. The study process identified parks as potential locations for future parks. However, a more detailed feasibility review by staff is required. This review will determine site-specific opportunities and constraints. The constraints and opportunities to be reviewed are:

• Land ownership
• Legislative considerations
• Ward Councillor consultations
• Community consultations, etc.

The reviews will take place before skateboard park facilities are included in future capital budget plans.
