Due to the overwhelming success of Recession Session Mondays, we at C.J. Skateboard Park have decided to add another section of the popular night.

On a temporary trial, from 4pm to 7pm we will host Recession Session Monday specifically for anyone under the age of 16.  We will still continue to have Recession Session from 7pm to 10pm, but for ages 16 plus. This is to help us be able to offer the park to more people, but make it less crowded and more enjoyable. This cost $5 with your up-to-date membership card.

GREAT NEWS FOR 13 - 16 YEAR OLDS!

Due to another year of a great success with our insurance company, our excellent safety record and listening to everyone’s suggestions, we have been allowed to change our pad rules. Starting today, anyone who is 12 and under must continue to wear full pads (helmet, elbow, wrist and knee pads), while anyone 13 and up will only have to wear a helmet (unless they are using the vert ramp where they will also need to wear knee pads). We always encourage anyone and everyone to wear the appropriate pads when necessary.

Hello Everyone!

C.J. Skateboard Park & School is very excited to announce that we have been accepted to participate in an online grant program and we need your support!

Starting January 4th 2011 everyone will be able to vote online for their favourite cause. Please visit http://pep.si/edDzJC to help us in our efforts to reduce the division between youth and youth with disabilities in our community. You will be able to vote once per day, and the last day to vote will be Feb 28th 2011.

Skateboarding can break down communication barriers and allow children to be on a level playing field. Even though skateboarding is an individual sport, it encourages kids to support and teach others around them. C.J. Skateboard Park & School is a place to build lasting friendships and to develop the tools kids need to become leaders in our community.


Thank you in advance for your votes!
