Pickering Council has approved the Request for Proposal (No. RFP2025-13) for the design and construction of a new community-sized skateboard park, as submitted by Radius Skateparks, in the amount of $943,550 (HST included).
The total project cost of $1,064,460.00 includes the proposal amount, a contingency and other associated costs, and will be funded through the capital budget and transfers from both the Development Charges City Share Reserve and the Development Charges Parks & Recreation Reserve Fund.
Pickering Council recently approved a $266 million recreation and library complex at Seaton (see below).
The new skatepark will be built within the hydro corridor, north of Diana, Princess of Wales Park. As part of this project, the existing skateboard park in Diana, Princess of Wales Park will be demolished and the site restored, said a city notice.
It said the city will enter into an amended licence agreement with Hydro One Networks Inc. to include the hydro corridor lands north of Kingston Road that will be necessary for the new skateboard park, parking, and amenities.
