Kamloops Park

by Ben Peacock

The worlds first longboard Park.

Opened on October 18, 2014.

Located above Pacific Way Elementary, 2330 Pacific Way, Kamloops, BC

Due to limited space, we based the design of the longboard park on some of the local golf cart paths. Both runs are about 8 feet wide, just enough for two riders to make a pass. The blue run has five switchback corners that you can either grip or drift. but you will have to slide for the final right.

The black run is much steeper and quicker and you will be sliding most of the way down.

The park came about thanks to the efforts of Patrick muttrie Matt Goss and other members of the KLC. By promoting safety and proving to the community that longboarding is a respectable activity that can be safely enjoyed by people of all ages, we were able to earn the city's support. The club also attended city council meetings in large numbers to prove that there is a genuine desire for such a park. After several years of planning and talking with city officials they were convinced to use public land and funds to support our club and give kids a safe place to ride off the road away from cars.

Our advice for anyone who would like to try to get something similar happening in their community would be to get organized, be respectable and prove that downhill skateboarding is something worth supporting .
