Hastings Bowl is one of the best parks in BC, possibly in Canada. As its name indicates, it consists of one very large bowl featuring four levels and a small street-ish area. It is very well designed and is a favorite of many local skaters.

One of the best skatepark in Canada. Hastings was, and still is, one of Vancouver's biggest gifts to the skate community.

Hastings consists mainly of a large bowl that ranges in size from a 5 foot mini to a huge 11 foot vert bowl. The corners and humps are sweet and abundant which allows for several satisfying speed lines around the bowl. The coping is also very nice and the large round bowl at the bottom has about a foot of vert.

There's a smaller section apart from the bowl that has more street-like features including some coped-ledges, wall-rides and a rail amongst the transitions.

The park is a favorite of good BMX riders and skateboarders so you can usually count on seeing some crazy tricks.
