Anyone can spend time learning to ollie in any driveway or park. But to really learn what your board can do—and have a ton of fun—you kind of need the obstacles of a proper skate park. And that’s exactly what skaters in Saint John have. Just remember—helmets are required by law in New Brunswick.

Saint John’s biggest and most challenging skate park is Station 1 on Station Street next to TD Station. It's perfect for all skill levels and ages, with ramps, bowls, pipes, and rails. The annual Mayor’s Cup Skateboard Competition is held here on Canada Day.

A smaller skate park is located at Market Place District Park on the City’s west side. It's ideal for more novice skateboarders.

For over 25 years the City of Saint John has been a leader in implementing best practices in energy efficiency.

The Irving Nature Park is a 600 acre (243 hectare) wooded park located on the City's west side. It offers beautiful views of the Fundy coastline and is a popular destination among locals and visitors to enjoy the outdoors, with groomed trails and a gravel road for walking, hiking, and biking. It features accessible washrooms, lookouts, barbecues, and—just outside the main entrance—a children’s forest, playground, and life-size mazes.

The park was developed and is maintained by J.D. Irving Ltd.

Wolastoq means “the beautiful river” in the language of the Maliseet people who once lived on our shores. Built in 2004 by J.D. Irving, Limited, the park overlooks the Reversing Falls Rapids, and features a collection of statues of historical Saint John figures. Stroll Wolastoq’s shoreline – and you will see how these lands provided the Maliseet people with an abundance of food, materials and medicines, while acting as an important transportation route for hunting and trade.

Riverview Memorial Park is located on Douglas Avenue overlooking the Saint John River. The park’s construction began in the early 1900s by the Douglas Avenue Park Commission—it took many years to remove rock, level the ground, and create the grassy park we enjoy today. A monument was also installed to honour veterans who served in the Boer War, where four Saint John men lost their lives.

Seaside Park is located on the City’s west side and overlooks the beautiful Bay of Fundy. The park is a popular local gathering spot with activities such as live music and outdoor movies. It’s also home to the Seaside Lawn Bowling Club.
