Covering a total area of nearly 22,000 sqft, the Marina Park Skate Plaza features a unique combination of world class skateboarding terrain, locally inspired art installations and casual socializing space set within a vibrant landscape detail designed to capture the spirit of Thunder Bay’s renewed waterfront vision. Within the development, 3 distinct areas (Bowl, Plaza, Entrance) offer a range of varied features and materials selections designed to accommodate each specific skateboarding style while providing excellent passive spectator opportunities. Specific design highlights include: a completely customized skateable re-creation of the iconic ‘Sleeping Giant’, use of local stone work on key ledges and walls, an authentic pool style bowl unit, and a seamless integration into the surrounding park trail system. Now complete, the Marina Park Skate Plaza serves as one of the nation’s top skate plaza developments in terms of size, quality of design and detailing, and positioning within a premier urban waterfront context.
