DIY in Blasdell with an ever-changing mix of obstacles.

Location

1554 1572 Garrison Rd, Fort Erie, ON L2A 2S6, Canada

Description

This skatepark is across the border, but it’s close enough that it might be an option for you. Of course, you’d be driving right past Lasalle if you take the Peace Bridge.

Fort Erie provides a live stream of the skatepark–you can see if the park is crowded before you go.
