City seeking feedback on plans for new skateboard park and bike parks

Proposed designs for a new skateboard park and bike skills park in Victoria’s Topaz Park are now available for public feedback.

“Victoria is an active all-wheels city and these skate and bike parks are hotly anticipated additions to Topaz Park,” said Mayor Lisa Helps.

“If you’re planning on getting out to enjoy these new amenities, this is a great opportunity to have your voice heard and help make them the best they can be.”

Council approved the skate and bike park projects in January 2020.

The 3,000 square metre skatepark and 6,000 square metre bike park will provide a fun and challenging riding experience for all skill levels.

The City is investing nearly $8 million to construct the skate and bike parks and replace the artificial turf sport field in Topaz Park as part of the long-term renewal plan for the park.

The project is being led by New Line Skateparks and includes a core team of landscape architects, engineers, arborists, community outreach specialists, and construction professionals who are also high-level skateboarders and BMX/mountain biking enthusiasts.

The team also includes gender equity, accessibility, and youth programming experts to ensure the new skate and bike parks meet the wide-ranging needs of the community.

“This project will deliver a world-class skate and bike experience to this neighbourhood,” said Hillside-Quadra neighbourhood liaison, Councillor Ben Isitt. “Topaz Park will become a destination for local riders of all levels and for riders throughout the region.”

The community is invited to learn more about the project and share feedback on the proposed designs through an online survey by June 25.
