National Skate Patrol
Visit the official web site for the Stanley Park Skate Patrol which is currently undergoing major changes. Our 2 chapters contain over 70 patrollers. Stanley Park is located on the northern tip of the downtown peninsula in Vancouver. The Seymour Demonstration Forest is located north of Capilano College in North Vancouver.
The function of the Skate Patrol is to:
- distribute in-line skating safety and education information to novice and experienced skaters
- provide on-site stopping instruction to novice skaters
- promote the safe use of areas for all participants
- make skaters aware of park etiquette and ordinances, and
- help local authorities with injuries.
The National Skate Patrol is a volunteer arm of the International In-Line Skating Association (IISA). There are 23 National Skate Patrol chapters found in North America and the Caribbean (Virgin Islands).
Stanley Park, Vancouver
The Stanley Park circuit is a 10 km (6 mile) loop. For 8.5 km (5.5 miles), the path follows the Stanley Park seawall. The seawall is a one-way path (counter-clockwise) for cyclists and in-line skaters, and is a two-way route for pedestrians.
Stanley Park circuit is just part of a path that starts at Science World (it is called the Seaside trail). At the Sunset Beach parking lot, the Vancouver Parks board has created a Learn-to-Skate area next to the Roller Hockey area. This is a great area where to practise the basics of skating before heading out on the Seaside or Seawall paths.
