Montreal is a major tourist destination in Canada. This city can be found in the Canadian province of Quebec and is known for its unique collection of cultures, amazing cuisine and an active entertainment industry. However, this city is also a great place to visit if you are a skateboarder. To find a skateboarding-themed adventure you don't have to look very far.
The Biggest Indoor Skatepark/Skateparc in Canada
The one stop you can't miss while visiting Montreal is the Orkus Skatepark. This skatepark, or skateparc as French Canadians call it, can be found at 4300 Cote de Liesse, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This skatepark is the largest indoor skatepark in Canada and offers skaters and spectators 30,000 square feet of fun. Inside the complex you will find several interesting skating arenas, a snack bar and a parents' lounge.
The Neighborhood of Saint Leonard
If you are looking for an
outdoor skateboarding adventure then go to the neighborhood now known as Saint Leonard. Here you will find two free skateparks. The first
park is designed for beginner skateboarders. It is called the Parc Garibaldi and it can be found at 7125 rue Lienart. This
park is modest and only has three wooden skating structures, but it is a good place to build your basic boarding skills.
If you are an intermediate skateboarder, then you will want to pull on your
hoodie or
jacket and go to the Parc Wilfrid-
Bastien. This skatepark can be found at 8181 Blvd Lacordaire. It offers eight different skateboarding structures and is open to the public from the beginning of June until the
end of August.
South Parc
Another famous skatepark in Montreal is South-Parc Skatepark. This
park can be found at 8100 Tashereau, Bossard, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This
park has 23,000 square feet of terrain to tear up, numerous wooden
skate structures, vert ramps,
wedge-to-
wedge features, a slant wall, obstacles and hand rails. This
park also has a special area for young kids, called the Pee Wee
park, so you don't have to worry about
running over little kids while you practice your tricks, and little kids don't have to worry about getting pushed around by older skaters.
