The Stirling Sk8 Park Committee was formed by dedicated volunteers in July 2005, with our efforts coming to reality last fall! The skatepark was built in November 2006, and is located along the railroad trail beside the newly renocated Train Station/ Information Centre.

The Kids of Stirling need more things to do that are fun & healthy. Not all can afford to join local sports organizations, nor do all excel at team sports. Comments from Police Forces in areas that have attained a Skate Park are “that it was the best thing that ever happened”.

We are continuing to raise money for the Sk8 Park until it is completely paid. Advertising is one simple way that businesses and organizations can help out. Metal signs are being placed on the perimeter of the fence surrounding the Sk8 Park, for $150.00 (basic design). Annual maintenance fees are also available for the following years, at a cost of $25.00 annually.

Donations are also eligible for a charitable tax receipt, through the Township of Stirling-Rawdon (re: Skate Park).
