Slocan Park Youth Hub Renewal

Skatepark priority

Identified in the approved Vancouver Park Board’s Skateboard Amenities Strategy (10 MB) as a priority area for a skatepark amenity due to its transit access for youth and existing complimentary active-use facilities.

A park renewal is planned for Slocan Park, introducing new and upgraded amenities:

  • Playground and multi-sport court: an upgraded playground and new sport court to support children and youth of all ages and abilities.
  • New skatepark: replacing the aging wading pool with a custom concrete skatepark, enhancing the park’s youth-focused amenities.

The vision is to create a welcoming space for a diverse range of users, with a focus on youth. The new features will integrate with the landscape and connect to the new rain garden.

Slocan Park is a 4.15 hectare community park in Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood immediately adjacent to the 29th Avenue Skytrain Station. The park currently includes the Slocan Fieldhouse/Community Hall Building, three grass playing fields, tennis courts, a community garden, playground, and concrete wading pool.
