St. Julien Skatepark – London, Ontario
Skateboard season is back! Let’s go to 15 St Julien Street in London, Ontario, Canada and explore the skatepark that’s there. I’m not sure why this park doesn’t have an official name or any signage . Everyone just calls it St. Julien Skatepark or St. Julien’s. It has some pretty cool obstacles and enough room to…

White Oaks Skatepark – London, ON
I really didn’t think I’d get the chance to skateboard during the Christmas holiday break. But due to warmer than season temperatures and nice weather, I found myself at the newly redesigned White Oaks Skatepark. It’s really close to the mall of the same name and a great place to skate. The park is a…

Barracks Skatepark (London, Ontario)
Wolseley Skatepark in London, Ontario is skateboard wonderland. The park is huge and has a great flow to it. Several skaters, BMXers, and scooter kids can ride here and not get in each other’s way often. There are a bunch of stairs and rails throughout the course. The only thing missing here is a mini-ramp…

West Lions Skatepark (London, ON)
I’ve been living in London for a few years now and I only just discovered this amazing skatepark. It has the best half-pipe that I have ever seen at a free outdoor facility. I like that the ramp is wide and not too tall. It is also very well-maintained. West Lions Park looks like a…

An Unconventional Skateboarder
video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player This video pretty much blew me away. Guo Miyagi has a very unconventional style when it comes to skateboarding. He celebrates some old school traditions and combines them with parkour techniques and new school tricks. I can’t say enough good things about this. Press play and be amazed.

Basil Grover Skatepark – London, Ontario
Let’s go for an early morning skate at Basil Grover Park. This small skateboard park is located at the corner of Wharncliffe and Commissioners in London, Ontario, Canada. I wish this launch ramp angled directly to the ground. The gap does make it a little more difficult though. I appreciate the low level block in…

Stratford’s All-Wheels Skatepark
Grab your skateboard and head to Stratford’s All-Wheels Skatepark. It’s time for another visual tour. This park doesn’t look like much. The ramps look kind of worn down. The concrete isn’t completely smooth. And the area looks like it used to be an industrial parking lot. But the metal ramps are a nice touch. The…
