Park Gate
Park Gate's bowl

Park Gate is a nice concrete park located in North-Vancouver. It features a multi level bowl (4 to 6 feet) and a couple of rails. The surrounding buildings and woody areas provide shade in the summer.

 

Park Gate is like a mini Hastings: A large concrete bowl with nice corners and sweet coping and a small street area. The bowl has three levels from a 4 foot mini down to a 6 foot round bowl. Like Bonsor this skatepark was designed by Spectrum Sk8park Creations LTD. The flow isn't quite as good as Hastings Bowl's but it's definitely interesting.

The street section is rather small but still packs a rail, a couple of ledges and a pyramid. The park is lined by the local community center which provides shade, water, restrooms, lights for evening sessions and minimal supervision.
