our Plan
Indoor Skatepark
*Concept design for the indoor skatepark*
why ?
The culture and activity is often seen as destructive or criminal, however, skateboarding is profoundly enriching. It teaches life skills such as perseverance, critical thinking and requires exceptional dedication to master the most basic of skills. There is no cheating in skateboarding.
From beginner to advanced, from young to not so young, the indoor skatepark will be a positive space that promotes recreation while organically growing community.
A proper place to skateboard indoors is an essential service.
details
The park will be budget friendly and open year round for skateboards, scooters and roller skates.
We will have outreach nights, specialty nights, lessons, contests, video premiers, and will be available for public use.
Several places in Saskatoon have been scouted and analyzed that would be ideal locations for the park.
Developments are ongoing while we continue to raise awareness as well as the funds necessary for such an operation.
We hope to open in the fall 2021.

Community Centre
The Antioch Community Centre will be a multifaceted space with 3 main components located in Warman.
Youth Drop In
The youth drop-in will feature free activities like Ping-Pong and video games.
It wil also include weekly programs such as indoor paintball and music production.
Indoor Skate Park
The indoor skateboard park will be open to scooters, rollerblades and skateboards year round.
We will have lessons, contests and weekly programming.
Marketplace
The marketplace will feature a skateboard shop, a concession / coffee shop as well as an open area available for public use.
There will also be a stage and bleachers perfect for small concerts and community events.
We envision the Centre being common ground for The Valley area;
A place for people to congregate and collaborate.
Where civilians, businesses, churches and the City of Warman all work shoulder to shoulder to create a difference in the Valley Area.
The ACC is a one of a kind project and there is nothing of this nature or scope in Saskatchewan.
Warman’s Recreational Manager Paul Mcgonigal has been advocating for the Centre as well as advising us in our efforts. The City of Warman responded well to our presentation in February 2020 and is now considering a financial partnership.
The likelihood of this arrangement depends greatly on corporate sponsorship and business donations; this is where your organization is able to play an essential part.

when ?
Due to all that has transpired over the past year we understand that our desired time-line may be delayed;
However, we feel called to push onward in order to provide a safe place for the youth of our community.
The mandatory isolation we are all experiencing is resulting in a perhaps even greater need for in-person interaction and facilities that produce community.
We are working diligently to open either location as soon as possible.
