One of the town's most-frequented parks, the Markham Skate Park is a 15,000 square foot hotspot for local youth. Equipped with fun boxes, stairs, flat banks, ledges, walls, and rails, the park's defining feature remains its 6-foot bowl. Appropriate for skateboarders and in-line skaters of all ages and skill levels, the park typically draws quite a crowd.
Approved by the Markham Council in 2001, construction began on the park in 2003. Designed by the Community Skateboarder Focus Group, PGM Design, and Spectrum Skatepark Creations, the state-of-the-art facility opened to the public on May 7, 2005.
The park has also been graced by professional skateboarders such as the Quicksilver Pro Team and is frequented by local sponsored amateurs, who enthusiastically proclaim the park their favourite practice location. Skaters come from all around the community to enjoy the facilities at the park, and its proximity to Markville Mall makes it a popular hangout.
