Client: Municipalities of Courtenay and Comox
Completed 2005
Site:
The
Courtenay/Comox Skateboard Park is located in the City of Courtenay.
This park is a joint venture between the neighbouring municipalities.
The park is the second park to be built in the region. Space2place
guided the site selection process.
Problem Statement:
To
create a skateboard park that will be a destination park for skaters
across the province and is suited to skaters of all abilities.
Design Solution:
The
park is divided into three distinct zones. These include a street area,
a bowl area and a “fl ow bowl”. The design meets the abilities of all
skaters and provides some challenging elements for more advanced
skaters. Site elements for non park users are provided to provide
“hangout” locations to watchthe skaters, drinking fountains, and
pathways.
Designed With Spectrum.
