Sep 12, 2022

Public Works Department will begin preparatory work for the construction of Petit-Sault Park Skate Plaza, near the Bernard-Valcourt pedestrian bridge, this Wednesday. “In order to begin the Skate Plaza construction project, three trees will be planted elsewhere in the Park and two wooden shelters will be relocated while the work is in progress,” explained Daniel Gautreau, Green Spaces and Urban Forestry Coordinator. 

In 2021, Edmundston City Council awarded a contract to New Line Skateparks Inc. firm for the construction of a new skate park in Petit-Sault Park.The project is getting underways thanks to many donations from a number of community partners, including a major grant from the Knights of Columbus, Council 1932 of Edmundston. 

The official Skate Plaza plan was unveiled by the citizen committee involved in this project since 2019, during a Skate Jam, on Tuesday, September 6th.
