Ottawa Skateboard Park Standards

The City of Ottawa updates recreation standards and best practices over time and the OSA submitted suggestions with respect to skateboard park standards. The City of Ottawa did not consult the OSA or stakeholders when updating the standards for skateboard parks. Current standards for skateboard parks allow for prefabricated skateboard parks to be built in the city of Ottawa. The OSA responded by creating suggestions for updating the skateboard park standards policy. 

Our infrastructure standards have been split into two categories, with “Must Have” items being absolutely essential to the viability of a skateboard park, and “Should Have” items being of utmost importance but non essential.
