Skate Park Details Markham's new skateboard park opened May 2005. It's located on the west side of Centennial Community Centre on Bullock Drive at McCowan Road, just north of Markville Shopping Centre.
Features include 15,000 square feet of skate terrain with stainless steel coping, rails and coloured concrete surfaces. There's a full street course with fun boxes, pyramid, 8 step and 3+3 step stairs, flat banks, ledges, walls and more... Test your skill in the 6' bowl with 6' spine, elevator and tombstone.
The skateboard park is there for all to enjoy, however only skateboarding and in-line skating permitted. Please observe posted rules and keep your new park clean by putting trash in the garbage. Report any graffiti you see by calling 905-415-7535.
This park is unsupervised. Users of this facility do so at their own risk. Use allowed in daylight hours only; the park is not lit for nighttime use.
Have fun, skate safe and always respect your fellow skaters!
