The day features skateboarding demonstrations, lessons and music.

The celebration kicks off with an open skate session. Residents can learn about the skatepark’s new features and the vision and design behind the park, including elements inspired by the Peterborough Lift Lock.  

Coy’s School of Skate will be on site offering tips and instruction for anyone looking to sharpen their skills from noon to 1 p.m. This session is free and open to everyone.  

The Lions Club is hosting a fundraising barbecue beginning at noon. All funds raised will go toward new equipment for the enhanced playground at Kawartha Heights Park. 

At 1 p.m., the 66 Thieves Skate Team will take over the park for a high-energy demonstration, showing off the possibilities of the newly expanded space. 

From 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., a free skate and jam sessions are open to everyone. Skaters of all skill levels are welcome to participate, with chances to win prizes for best tricks on select obstacles.
