For years Nelson had had an indoor skate park in the downtown area, but in May of 2014, their outdoor park finally opened in Art Gibbon Memorial Park, in the Rosemont area of Nelson, on the far southwest side of the city. It's a great park, with most every type of feature seen in contemporary parks, including a large pipe and a big double bowl.

For the bikers, there is an equally nice bike park adjacent to the skate park.

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.
