Skate Plaza is almost ready to roll!

Sep 15, 2023

The Recreation and Sports Department would like to inform the population that the Skate Plaza will soon be ready to welcome skateboarders, freestyle scooters, and BMX enthusiasts ONLY.

Some development work is expected in the upcoming weeks. It is therefore important to respect the barricades and avoid walking in the park or its surroundings not to damage anything. The opening is scheduled for September 30th, if the weather cooperates. We will notify you via social media.

Before the opening, it’s important to remember certain rules to follow to keep the park in good condition and to avoid incidents:

• Do not walk on the perimeter of the park (to avoid the presence of mud in the park)
• The park is reserved for skateboarders, freestyle scooters, and BMX enthusiasts ONLY (pegs, pedals, and plastic handles on BMXs)
• No mountain bikes are accepted in the park (to avoid the presence of rocks in the park, the handles and pedals can also damage the cement.) *Please use Sentiers Madawaska Trails
• Wearing a helmet is strongly recommended

Remember that this project came to life thanks to the efforts of a citizen committee and the contribution of numerous community sponsors, including the Edmundston Knights of Columbus Council 1932, major contributors.

The official opening presenting the donor recognition wall is planned for spring 2024. The exact date will be known later this fall.
