Leeside Skatepark
Cassiar Connector & East Hastings St and Highway 1, Vancouver, BC V5K 5J3, Canada
Leeside Skatepark is a one-of-a-kind DIY underground skate haven, built by the skateboarding community in honor of Lee Matasi, a Vancouver skater and artist whose passion for the sport lives on through this project.
Originally an abandoned transit tunnel, it was gradually transformed into a fully functional, ever-evolving skatepark, thanks to the dedication of local skaters and artists. Today, it stands as a legendary landmark in Vancouver’s skate culture, with a mix of raw creativity, artistic expression, and pure skateboarding energy.
Leeside Skatepark operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making it one of the most accessible skate spots in Vancouver. Its covered location allows for year-round skating, even during rainy weather. Whether you’re an early riser looking for a quiet session or a night skater craving an underground vibe, Leeside is always open for you to drop in and ride.
