Located in the heart of Downtown Brandon, the Kristopher Campbell Memorial Skate Plaza consists of over 20,000 sqft of modern skateable terrain built directly over the original foundation of the City’s historic Prince Edward Hotel. Alongside a diverse collection of world-class urban skate features, columns along the plaza perimeter mirror those of the original building while major areas contained within the park take on the names of key rooms once housed inside the hotel. Now open and busy with youth and spectators from all walks of life, the completion of the project illustrates a compelling model for urban renewal based on an understanding of where Brandon has come from and how the challenges of the past may be turned into opportunities for the future.
