Ashbridges Bay Skatepark

Toronto's largest outdoor concrete skatepark, sitting right on the lake at Ashbridges Bay Park near Coxwell Avenue. The size allows a genuine split between street terrain and flowing transition, so a returning skater can work on flatground and banks in one area while more advanced locals use the deeper sections.

Being on the waterfront makes this an easy sell if you are bringing family along — the beach and the Martin Goodman Trail are right there. Lakeside wind can be a factor; mornings tend to be calmer as well as quieter.
