Skatepark
Skatepark The Estevan Skatepark was built in late 2005. The park was designed and built by Skate Concept. It is on a pad of concrete approximately 50ish' x 100ish', I say approximately because the pad isn’t exactly square. That being said, it is hard to describe what shape it really is…refer to the Skatepark Layout picture if you’re curious.

As for the location. It is right behind the Estevan Aquatic and Leisure Centre. If you have absolutely no idea where or what that is, click here to see a map.

Skate Concept created the park renderings, one of which you can look at to the left under the Skatepark Layout section. While on the topic, kudos to them for doing an awesome job at designing the overall layout of the park. Personally I may have done some things different, but I can’t complain… it’s Estevan…I’m pumped

this actually got done and the skaters and bikers have somewhere to go without getting hassled. Anywho, back to the park, within the park there is a 6’ quarter pipe, 4’ – 5’ half pipe, 3.5’ volcano, 6 set with a rail, pyramid with a rail, grind box, and some other stuff. It ranges from beginner to more advanced so everyone can have a good time after they get used to some of the transitions.

Skatepark So, how things went down. The pad of concrete was laid before hand with grooves where the ramps and such would be placed. Then Skate Concept shipped out the ramps and they got craned into their position on the concrete and the ground around the park was somewhat landscaped to match the edges of the park so there wouldn’t be any sudden drop offs.
After that the rest of the concrete was laid around the upper levels of the park and the cracks, gabs and spaces between the ramps and such were filled in. As of right now… I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say they aren’t holding up to well. I say this because they are cracking and pieces are falling out making it a rough ride in some places. I’m thinking these may have to be redone here sometime or another… rather sooner than later. Anyways, after they were filled in the park was ready to go, apart from the sidewalk, bridge, grass, sprinklers, fence posts, signs… yeah… still waiting on a few things in that department.

Estevan Skate As for the rules laid down by the head honchos, some of them are ridiculous and I can't see them being followed, but they can try I guess. One of these that I’m talking about being the “No Music” rule. Sorry, but that kind of rediculous. What's wrong with a little music while you're having fun. You can check out the rest of the rules by clicking on the picture of the sign. I gotta rant again here. When the
sign was made, they didn’t put XS-iV on it despite everything they have done for the skatepark and skateboard scene in general. The SKATEBOARD shop wasn’t on the sign for the SKATEBOARD park. Good thing someone stuck an XS-iV sticker on the sign. Anyways, I’m done ranting and raving about the park. I suggest you check it out if you haven’t, it well worth a look! Even if you aren’t a skater, bmxer, rollerblader, etc. It’s got everything you could need… minus a water fountain, and electrical outlets…and a broom.

The city has recently put benches at the park (the non-skating kind)! Some nice blue ones that say something along the lines of "Prairie Mines" on them. Not sure if that is exactly the saying, but it's close enough. So now the park just needs the electrical outlets and a water fountain! So... let's get those City of Estevan. Skater's will be forever in your dept. Well maybe not forever... but you know what I mean. Check out the City of Estevan website by clicking here to get more information on the city.
