The Whistler Skatepark is the second largest in Canada with the total skateable area of over 4,600 square metres (50,000 square feet). 

The Whistler Skatepark is centrally located between the Village and Fitzsimmons Creek, accessible through Day Lot 3, and open daily from April to November from dawn until the lights shut off at 1 a.m. 

The park contains a serpentine run into a 6.5-metre diameter “Snake Bowl”, a cherished and unique feature in North America. A second area contains a variety of ¼ pipes up to three metres high, a spine, volcano and central pyramid.

The expansion linked the two previous phases of the skatepark and incorporates long flowy lines with multiple ledges and street-style elements that allow skaters to pump and flow for speed.
