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!!

It’s official!
The skatepark expansion OPENS for public use at 8:00am tomorrow (Wednesday July 3). The fences will be moved to give full access to the expanded skatepark from 8am to 11pm daily. Please continue to park/enter from the Bonnacord side while McDonnel entrance remains closed.
Over the summer months, work will continue adjacent the skatepark, as construction crews turn their attention to the BMX pump track. We are grateful that the City of Peterborough has made the new park accessible to us during this next phase, so please be safe and respectful of the ongoing construction.
Don’t worry, a big Grand Opening celebration is being planned for the fall (and we’re still waiting on lights). Until then, have fun learning all your new tricks, and please join us in keeping our new space clean and well-loved this summer.
See you out there for a session!

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…
