LANSDOWNE SKATEPARK, 1525 Princess Patricia Way, Ottawa, Ontario
Located at Lansdowne Park, a world-class attraction that blends courtyards, heritage buildings, and the Lansdowne Skatepark. The RDS bench here gets moved from time to time and put into storage for the winter.
VALLEYCLIFFE COURTS, MCNAUGHTON PARK, Squamish, BC
If you head down to the Valleycliffe tennis courts in McNaughton Park, nestled down in a shady spot beside the Stawamus River, you’ll often find a smattering of young skateboarders practicing their stunts and shredding across the surface.
JUAN DE FUCA SKATEPARK, 1767 Island Hwy, Victoria, BC
Located in the lower field area behind the Juan de Fuca Rec Centre, the new skatepark measures 13,000 square feet. There are two RDS Granite benches with a bump up to one of them.
MAHON SKATEPARK, 1601 Forbes Ave, North Vancouver, BC
So much RDS Granite here! Our largest granite installation with the longest skateable granite ledge in Canada, plus two benches and some smaller granite ledges. Originally a temporary feature, the Mahon Skatepark is now a permanent structure which features a simple, street-focused design that links together well-spaced obstacles.
LADYSMITH SKATEPARK, 810 6 Ave, Ladysmith, BC
Located next to Frank Jameson Community Centre off of 6th Ave. We donated a bench to improve the older park. This park falls into the unusual but fun category, with a selection of transition and flat bank pyramids around the park.
TUFF CITY SKATEPARK, 375 Campbell St, Tofino, BC
The bench is just outside the skatepark. We donated a bench to install a missing element to this surf-inspired concrete park that opened in 2005.
GOLDEN BC SKATEPARK, 1286 Ninth St S, Golden BC
3 blocks from downtown Golden nearby Mount 7 Rec Plex.
DRIFTOPIA, Castlegar, BC
Talk to our friend alien@driftopia about hitting up this semi-private bench at his sweet skate compound!
BEASLEY PARK, 30 Caledonia Road, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
We worked with the Halifax Skateboard Association to ship our 2500 lbs granite bench from Vancouver. This is the farthest one of our benches have travelled so far.
SKATEPARK OF TAMPA (SPoT), 4215 E Columbus Dr, Tampa, FL
Considered one of the top skateboarding venues on the East Coast of the United States and is well known for its annual Tampa Am and Tampa Pro competitions.
VERNON ADANAC PLAZA, Vernon Dr, Vancouver, BC
Located along the Union-Adanac bike path. We worked with the Vancouver Skateboard Coalition to install this RDS Granite Bench prototype. This location is hard to hit and the City of Vancouver should ideally relocate it to somewhere more skateable.
Thanks for your support!
