Shell park
Located at 3307 Lakeshore Road West
Shell Park is by far our favourite Oakville skate park because it is one of the biggest around. It’s frequented by skaters and scooter riders of all ages and abilities. It’s 14,000 square feet and almost all of it is covered in some very artistic graffiti, which makes it super appealing to its fans. It has over 26 ramps, plus stairs and rails. Ample parking is available.
George Savage Park
Located at 3200 George Savage Avenue.
Adjacent to Oodenawi Public School.
The George Savage Park facility offers a 3,800-square-foot park and includes a quarter pipe, flat ledge, flat bar, rooftop wedge to wedge and rooftop ledge, manual box and out-ledge combination, and cantilevered turnaround banks. It’s a fairly basic location offering just enough to keep the kids coming back with their wheels.

This newly built park is home to lots of playground amenities in one location. However, the skate pieces are limited to a small bowl, perfect for beginners and kids looking to avoid crowds. Street parking only.
