If you have not heard.

The ground has been broken for construction on a new 50,000 square foot youth center on the corner of Main and Higgins. YFC Winnipeg has launched a huge project that will become the new home of the Edge as we relocate to a new address and construct a new skatepark. The youth center will also include a dance studio, gym, fitness center, climbing wall and more. Despite some media confusion we will not be open for BMX bikes. The new space will be in the area of 12,000 – 13,000 square feet and a completely new design in its own dedicated space. We are currently working hard to make this the best indoor space it can be. We would also like your input as we design – please submit any input via email to info@theedgeskatepark.com – send us pictures, suggestions or ideas you have for park design.

Here are some pictures from the ground breaking day as well as a image of the building.

Keep checking back for updates and potentially some sneek peeks of what might be to come. The Edge has been serving skateboarders since 1992 and we will continue to try and do our best as we take on this amazing new project.
