The Calgary Folk Music Festival will have a mini-ramp set up onsite this year! And we will have an information booth right next to it. Come say hi this weekend. The ramp is free to skate with a festival pass or ticket. Helmets required and BYOB.
Mission Snow & Skate presents the Langdon Legacy skate competition this Saturday, July 23rd from 3pm-6pm at the Langdon skatepark:
Royal Boardshop presents another Gromfest competition, this time at Huntington Hills on Saturday, July 23rd. It’s geared to skaters aged 6-14 and always tons of fun!
The City of Calgary has awarded the construction for “skatepark sites 5 and 6” (Deer Run and Midnapore). The same team responsible for the construction of New Brighton skatepark will be working on these: Wilco Construction with Transition Construction and Radius Construction. These guys have a lot of experience building quality skateparks so this is good news! It’s likely these three parks will be the best-built to date.
Our City contacts have let us know that construction will start later this season; at least one of these new parks will be completed in 2016. New Brighton is on track to be done within the next few weeks. Calgary skateboarders will have more new concrete parks very soon!

We’ll be taking the summer off board meetings to– what else?– skate! We’ll still be updating the site with any info related to Calgary skateboarding. Feel free to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter too.
Have a great summer and feel free to join us at our regular monthly board meetings (second Wednesday of each month) when they start back up in September.
