Courtenay/Comox Skateboard Park

SIte: The Courtenay/Comox Skateboard Park is located in the City of Courtenay. This park is a joint venture between the neighbouring municipalities. The park is the second park to be built in the region. Space2place guided the site selection process.

Problem Statement: To create a skateboard park that will be a desitnation park for skaters across the province and is suited to skaters of all abilities.

Design Solution: The park is divided into three distinct zones. These include a street area, a bowl area and a “flow bowl”. The design meets the abilites of all skaters and provides some challenging elements for more advanced skaters.

Site elements for non park users are provided to provide “hangout” locations to watch the skaters, drinking fountains, and pathways.
