The Banff Skatepark
Vibes Are Unmatched
Whether you’re a local with a well-worn deck or a tourist with brand new grip tape, Banff Skatepark is one of those rare spots where the setting is just as epic as the session. Framed by soaring views of Rundle and Cascade Mountains, this park isn’t just a place to skate—it’s a place to be.
Nestled near the banks of the Bow River, the skatepark catches a steady breeze that keeps sessions cool even on hot summer days. With horses grazing in the nearby pasture, and the most epic sunsets you'll ever see, it sounds made up, but it’s real.
A Skatepark for Everyone
Whether you’re hitting the ledges and rails, cruising the mellow banks, or just learning to push, the vibe here is inclusive, positive, and always encouraging.
Locals are friendly, respectful, and quick to offer a “Nice one!” when you land a trick. It’s a great spot for younger skaters or those new to the sport to feel welcome and inspired.
Even better? Banff Skatepark is a quick 7-minute walk from UNLTD Boardshop. Cross the new pedestrian bridge over the Bow River, cruise through the rec grounds, and boom—you’re there.
Need new wheels? Forgot your skate tool? We’ve got you covered not too far away.
More Than Just a Skatepark
The location is a hub of activity:
- A new pump track was made in 2024, just up the path, for when you want to change it up.
- Indoor washrooms are close by (bless).
- A massive playground is new for summer 2025
- Multiple baseball diamonds, basketball courts and a soccer/football field too
It’s the kind of place you could easily post up for the whole afternoon.
It’s not just about the concrete—it’s about the connection. To the mountains, the community, and the joy of skating outside in a place that feels like a dream.
See you at the park.
