Viking Skatepark; get there early to beat the crowds, as this is probably the busiest park in the Kootenays. The park was built by Spectrum Skateparks and opened in 2002. It features tons of transitions and a nice flat ground area as well. I think the mini at the front of the park is probably a fan favourite. The other nice thing about this park is that it’s just down the road from The Choice skate shop, where the knowledgeable and friendly staff will hook you up and get you all set for all of your skateboard, snowboard, clothing, shoe, and safety gear needs, or even just a good old high five.
