Skate, Bike and Pump Parks!<br />
Beaver Valley: This all wheel<br />
skatepark in Montrose is brand<br />
new; it officially opened in May of<br />
2017. The course was designed<br />
by Newline Skateparks out of<br />
Calgary. It’s adjacent to a major<br />
bus route so kids can hop on the<br />
bus from Rossland or Castlegar.<br />
There are also washroom amenities<br />
on site.<br />
Castlegar: The largest bike park<br />
in the West Kootenay is at 110 5<br />

tracks built by Dig Designs<br />

dirt jumps, pump tracks, a flow<br />
trail and a technical zone – all<br />
designed to challenge riders of<br />
every skill level. So much fun!<br />
Kaslo: Kaslo’s skatepark is right<br />
on the beach in Vimy Park. BMX<br />

Kaslo’s family pump park is on<br />
the river trail system. From downtown<br />
Kaslo head upriver on the<br />

off at 3 Forks and ride down into<br />
town. Historic!<br />
