Skate Park Committee
(TLSC) About US
The Lumsden Skate Park Committee is a group
made up of youth, parents, business owners,
and town representatives.
Our Vision and Goal is “To facilitate the
completion of a concrete skate park in the
Town of Lumsden.” The skate park will be
designed to service multiple action sports like
skateboarding, biking, and in-line skating.
This endeavor will create a safe and inviting
skate park for all ability levels to enjoy.
The committee will raise funds through:
Our Park
We need your help
The TLSC has set a mandate to raise $200,000
to build a 5000 sq. ft. concrete park.
(Concept on cover page is subject to change.)
The dollar amount per square foot is based on
estimations of previously completed skate park
projects in the prairies and current known
construction costs.
The TLSC is seeking funding partners to help
raise money and construct this exciting
community facility. Contributions of cash and
“in-kind” services of any amount are most
appreciated and will be bolstered by our
ongoing grant applications and grassroots
funding efforts.
The TLSC is very excited to announce we
have partnered with Newline Skateparks
(www.newlineskateparks .com) Newline is one
of the most experienced and trusted skate park
builders/project managers in North America.
Some of their recent projects in Saskatchewan
include Yorkton Skate Park, Regina Skate
Plaza, and Lloydminster Skate Park.
We do not require ongoing funding beyond this
initial capital goal, as skate parks have proven
to be virtually maintenance free.
All donations are eligible for a tax deductible
charitable receipt or tax deductible “receipt
in kind” for donated material, equipment.

Why a Skatepark?
Skate parks make families with children,
youth, and adults that participate in action
sports feel valued, appreciated, and more
connected to their community.
A skate parkwill add diversity to our town’s
recreation opportunities for young and old.
Also, a skate park can reduce youth inactivity,
crime, and nuisance behaviour by providing
youth with an appealing, visible environment
that encourages athletic, psychological, and
social improvement. A park like this fills a need
for community members already involved in
action sport and provides an opportunity for
those who want to start.
At this time, the project is slated for a green
th
space located at the east end of 4 Ave. This
location is ideal because it is highly visible from
James St., already Town property, and away
from direct contact to residential homes. The
park is a hybrid design of “transition” (curved
ramps) and “street” obstacles allowing the park
to facilitate enjoyment for a wide variety of
action-wheeled sports and skill levels.
Receipts are issued by the Town of Lumsden.
