We suggest you also read the articles at skateboarding.com about projects like Burnside, and Phillyside, where skaters took it upon themselves to build parks in neglected areas near highways. The lessons learned are amazing. Rally the troops and things get done!

Please take a few minutes and read my article on Park Design - it a little philosophy, and LOTS of practical advice.

SkateOntario would like to support your project. Let us know who is involved and how it is coming along. Send photos and updates.
We regret we cannot provide financial support. This web site is volunteer run and does not generate any income.

We are compiling a master list of shops, distributors and manufacturers in Ontario.

Please send your company description and contact information to us.

The lists will follow the fomat of the yellow pages online. Those companies with a web presence will be listed first in their respective categories.

If you need a web site, visit the SAF design partner, Creative Communication.

We will publish our results soon.
