"Nelson Skatepark - Nelson, BC
Coming in at 15,000 sqft, the Nelson Skatepark is just what the town needs. The Kootenay Lake Outdoor Skatepark Society worked diligently with town representatives for a number of years to see this project through and we're proud to have helped make it a reality.
The bowl is a key feature-- depths are 4'6 and 7'6 so it's a quick one. The transition elements continue with a snake run, which makes this park flow nicely.
The street area is stacked with features: Pier 7 manny/ledge, numerous hubba ledges, several rails, flat bar, and more.
The Nelson Skatepark is located in Art Gibbon Park, 505 West Beasley Street in the Rosemont area."
