Year-round skateboarding is on its way to Nova Scotia next month. Skateboarders across Halifax and Dartmouth are ramping up for a new indoor skatepark coming to Burnside. Kayleigh Stevens has more on why the indoor park is important for the community.
Doug Morrison and Jake Parker are the two men spearheading this project and are the co-founders of Wild Things Skate, an environment where anyone can learn to skateboard. “We’re maxed out for space in there and we really needed something where we’d have more room and have 100 per cent control of the space,” Morrison said.The warehouse in Burnside where the park will be located has much more room, including an upstairs studio for musicians to jam and an art space on the main floor for pop-ups and workshops.Morrison and Parker also plan to host live music shows in the space, as well as continue their skateboarding lessons and year-round camps.
“It’s just become a really inclusive community where, if you don’t feel like you belong somewhere else, come join us because we’ve got a spot for you,” he said.
