Our Mission

We work with people and partners in the Peterborough region toward the creation of new skate spaces.

Looking After Our Spaces

We work with our own volunteers and the City of Peterborough to maintain our skatepark and keep it safe and accessible for everyone.

Creating Opportunities for Skateboarders

We find ways to engage young people in the skateboard community and help invest in the next generation.

New Skatepark at Bonnerworth

The wait is over — Bonnerworth Park’s brand new skatepark is open and ready to ride. The rejuvenated skatepark has more than doubled in size, expanding from 8,400 square feet to an impressive 17,000 square feet, making it one of the most exciting recreational destinations in the region.

Skateboarding is growing, and so is Peterborough. We’re dedicated to improving skateboarding in this city and getting new skateparks built.

This skate jam is gonna be BIG!
Bloc your calendars off May 16, 2026 to celebrate our local skate community!

We are so appreciative of all the skaters, shops and companies that came before us here (and those still pushing the scene forward) - we couldn’t do this work and get more skate spaces without all the amazing people in this community backing us!

DM us if you want to be involved / have an idea how you can help out :)

LIGHTS!

The skatepark expansion is finally feeling complete - HUGE thanks to @cityptbo @ptborecreation for collaborating throughout the process and getting the lights turned on for the skatepark!

They are currently set on a timer to be on from 7pm-11pm - in keeping with the operating hours for Bonnerworth Skatepark for over 20 years (they will adapt to earlier sunsets late summer). The lights don’t turn on automatically - there is a button on the metal pedestal that becomes “active” after 7pm (lift up the newly unlocked panel and voila!).

Lights and shade shelter were not in the original plans - we had to advocate for these but @ptborecreation staff worked hard to listen and deliver an amazing upgrade to Bonnerworth Park. Skatepark design by @canadianrampcompany and skatepark construction by @dropinskateparks. Thanks for working with us through the process. The lighting is a massive improvement on the old park lights and important to have night skating in the heat of summer. The shade shelter was funded by a donation from @hydrooneofficial and supported by other park advocates (pump track and pickleball).

Stay tuned for some more updates soon on upcoming events and opportunities to add more skate spaces to the City of Peterborough!

Happy skating - hope to see you all out there!!

COMMUNITY UPDATE:

The skatepark expansion at Bonnerworth Park is still considered an active construction site.
As such, the City has asked us to remind that the new park remains CLOSED until final preparations are complete.

The City of Peterborough expects to open the new skatepark for use in the coming weeks. We will communicate as soon as we know more details.

For everyone’s safety until then:

Please do not attempt to bypass the security fencing and enter the site.
Please follow any signs posted by the City of Peterborough.
The City has told us that By-law officers may be present at times to enforce; please be respectful and avoid conflict.

Thank you for your continued patience.

We know it’s hard to wait, but we’re almost there…
