DIY under a bridge. What more do you want?
Grew up skating this Park, it was called Ambleside then but the re-editions to the park is really great close to the beach. Highly recommend
It's a really nice park.
this skatepark is pretty good, it has some pretty good features where you can’t really find at some other skate parks. it has a lot of downledges, some flat bar rails, a really long ledge, a quarter pipe, manny pad, and a couple of other obstacles you can skate. there’s also a park right next to it as well as a small walking trail too, which makes the park pretty accessible, it’s also located in between a neighborhood so it’s not too busy most of the time. for example, when i went there was only one person there and that was it, so basically i had the skatepark to myself. the skatepark also has a water fountain and washrooms right beside it which makes this skatepark really nice. however, one downside to this skatepark is that it’s really small, and after a while of skating here, it does get a bit boring because there isn’t that much obstacles to skate since it’s a small skate park, but overall it’s still a good skatepark and one that i’d definitely recommend checking out if you stop by here.

Nice and clean. It needs to be safe for younger kids too. It's look like a special gathering location for young adults or older teenagers.
Great park to visit if your coming to the falls. Only 5 minutes away and tons of to to skate for beginners to experienced skaters.
Good spot— smooth concrete just a bit small so if busy, ppl tend to get in the way.
A very old park and a bad surface, but it has its charm.
Solid park. Some missing concrete here and there. Somethings felt spaced out a bit far for boarding. Having some shade is a big plus too.
Cool
Nice skate park but very crowded.
Nice setting, shade trees and green space, small park gets crowded quick. Unique features
A great place to skateboard; you can do many tricks there.
Please repave this park. The 2 parking lots that are surrounding it are freshly paved. Why did you stop there? The ground is unskatable
All around a pretty solid park. A bit small perhaps.
Legendary skate spot, every skater in Canada knows about this spot or has seen it in videos or photos at one point. Not just skateboard vids, snowboard vids too! Was an absolute joy to finally visit this place, lots of incredible local graffiti, and the vibe there is epic! They also have lamps so once it’s dark, you can still chill there and have a good time!
absolutely horrible, no space and needs new equipment. I only use this park cuz it’s the closest one to me.
Very good community in this park and skilled skateborders the parks is well new and well thinked
Can't comment on how fun it is to skate there since i haven't tried it myself but love the art though
Small. We had the park to ourselves for like 5 mins and then a group came by and totally dominated it and ended up forcing us to use the basketball court. This is a beginner park. They should make it bigger
I have been using this skatepark for many many years and honestly it's not the best. It's very limited in features and there is so much adjacent space that the city could use to expand the park. There's a single rail, some boxes, a concrete highway divider feature, and a slight incline or two
Great sk8park. Great shape and lots fun stufff. Paid parking is a downer
Nice park- usually next to nobody there. (Depending on the season I guess)
They have started putting up a bunch of apartments behind now, which is kind of ugly to look at
Check out st kitts park aswell!

Cute little park, worth going to skate in a nice spot on the waterfront. Smooth and fun features.
Its not the best for learning because it needs a smooth ground sub to Coldking on youtube heres the image
Nice park, pretty quiet most of the time, got rad.
Great park, never super busy and when it is the skaters are friendly.
I love the art and that there are places like these for artists to display their Talants, the art work is changing continually so it's a very cool place to photograph graphite.
Nice park but it’s kinda small. If ur having a solo sesh or just skating with a few other people it should be fine but when the park gets crowded it gets hard to skate
As a beginner skateboarder I really liked this park. It doesn't have too many features but it's a great spot when you're just starting out.
Also has a basketball court area that you can practice on flat ground

The ground is unskatable. This park is probably better for bikes but not for skateboarding.
So fun! This place is near a public park for kids, ping pong tables, large grassy areas, lots of parking. Skatepark was somewhat clean - picked up broken glass but it was a fun park to BMX bike at. Meeting new people and enjoying life. 😎
A good skatepark, a lot of rails, round and flat, and some ramps. The quarter pipes were a bit weathered but still a very fun park, better than it looks in the pictues!
my friend broke his arm droping in the bowl
The skatepark itself is decent with a small bank, downledge, wall ride, rail and other stuff. The only bad thing about this skate park is that it’s just small, so if you are planning to ride bmx here, i’d not recommend doing it since the skate park is small on bmx. But on skateboard and scooter it’s fairly decent to ride.
Great park
Not a bad skate park that has a bowl, banks and some rails. The only bad thing about this skate park is that it’s kinda small, so there’s not that much space to ride. Especially when it’s crowded, and which usually around the afternoon it is crowded. But other than that it’s still a decent skate park.
So I’ve been to many other skate parks and this one is decent because almost everything there is just quarter pipes and half pipes which can get boring kinda fast, but they do have a little box jump in the middle of the skate park which is nice to do and really smooth. Sometimes in the future I do come here because when it’s raining or when it’s wet, I come here because the skatepark is located in a tunnel under E Hastings st which is nice.
Needs a bit of upgrading but great to have
It's a great local skateboard park.
Been riding here since 2005
Love this park!!! Lots of different things to ride and always great looking tags!!! Gets crowded but everyone is always chill.
My favourite park, it's got really nice concrete, a cool little bowl that's fun for all skill levels, and a nice selection of other features. It attracts a diverse crowd in the mornings, but can get a tad busy in the afternoon.
I fell alot but it was fun learning there
It's a great skatebowell for all levels
Amazing place to ride, awesome community, great people. Would have loved if the city had followed through with their plans of renovating and repairing the park, and adding the lighting that was planned for 2020 on the city of niagara falls website. Maybe now that the YMCA is closed, the city can increase the budget for the skatepark.
Great for kids, beginners up to professional skateboarders. For everyone! Really safe considering the tent city. Sweet vibes here always.
My boy loves this this park but the city doesn't take great care of it. Needs work
The bowl is ok, The street section is a really poor design.
We lived close to this skate park for years and always busy. Never experienced or seen any trouble. The older kids were patient and helpful with the younger ones....even helping and teaching them how to do tricks ect. But the actual park could be re paved as its horrible for kids on skateboards or scooters as its really rough uneven and cracked ect. Wish we had these around when i was younger. We had no where to skate and were getting chased out of everywhere. Nice kids have these parks now just needs some repair and upkeep as it definitely gets use.
Great park for everyone to enjoy except for stepping in dog poo. People should clean up after their dogs.
Massive cell towers in direct line with the park including the skate park, lacrosse box and playing fields as well adjacent to high frequency power lines. I wouldn't let my children go anywhere near this park!
Nice park with stunning views.
Whis the skate park was bigger
Please fix the hole on the northern mound. My wife just went down hard after her skate got caught in it.
Great spot for all levels
Great park super unique and fun to use. Gets moisture on it during the winter a lot but otherwise great.
We heard a lot about this park and how we needed to check it out while we were visiting Vancouver for the summer. The park can be tricky to find if it’s your first time there. The park used to bean old viaduct via a tunnel which they converted in to a skate park in honour of a slain artist/passionate skater. Check this place out if you have the chance just for the artwork.

In desperate need of repaving and better design it's been neglected for far to long
Took a hard bail here the other week. A few of us at the park agreed that the rail here has day where it sticks and days when it runs, always check it out I guess. The coping on the ledges here rides really well, this park is really fun to connect grinds and slides and is a good place to get comfortable on smaller ramps and kickers!
Super fun little obstacle skate park. Skaters are mostly friendly towards bikes. Just keep your head up.
My 4yo enjoy coming here with his balance bike. I liked the fact that other grownups and older kids don't mind sharing with younger kids like mine.
Good skatepark with a few boxes, pyramids, rails and bowl. Keep in mind that only the walls of the bowl are painted so if you bail and hit he bottom of the bowl be prepared for sandpaper-like friction.
Its a really fun park. A bit of everything.
The bowl was really nice, plenty of great transitions that felt really good on a bmx bike, and they are definitely rideable for a skateboard or scooter.
It was nice, had some cool things to ride, and a huge spine and quarter that would scare anyone, but there wasn't much in the way of fly outs and I wouldn't recommend it to young kids as it's pretty big.
Epic place. They have well build ramps, and cool signs. The kids there are always very nice. Came for 2 hours, and didn't want to leave.
Great skate park with good flow. It would be amazing with a resurfacing.
Could use a bit better drainage. Decent spot. Out of the way and not too busy
Good beginner to intermediate park. Small fully coped bowl and a banked and coped street park. Better for BMX thank skateboaring, older/rougher concrete in the street area. Decent though.
Horrible ground with aging obstacles that are packed to close together.
10/10 ign
Bowl riding is the best
Turf field in need of repair. It does not drain well.
great
