The Vancouver Skate Plaza is a skatepark in Vancouver, British Columbia. It is located under the Georgia Street and Dunsmuir viaducts at the corner of Union St. and Quebec St.[1]
It was designed and built in 2004,[2] making it the first Street plaza skatepark.
The design mimics urban plazas popular in the downtown cores of many large cities, including handrails, ledges, and stairs.[3] It is free to use and covers 26,000 square feet.[3] Vancouver Skate Plaza was named as number 21 on a top-25 list of best skate parks in the world by Complex magazine in August 2013.[4]
