Fort Erie
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.

DIY in Buffalo’s Outer Harbor. The surface is concrete, and the middle is slightly raised above the rest of the park. Some spots are prone to flooding.
There’s another, smaller DIY down the road.
Summer 2025 update
Moms Skateshop organized events to work on the DIY. They added new ledges and painted the obstacles. The tiny flat rail is gone.
