McNabb.. what we are...

2010-05-18T16:08:00.000-04:00

Every summer, the city of Ottawa and local skateboard shops sponsor an indoor skate park at the McNabb arena at Percy and Gladstone. Once hockey season is over, and the ice is melted, construction begins in early may. The McNabb skate park is now a long-standing tradition in the Ottawa area. It's a great initiative to give kids a place to go skate, especially during inclement weather, during the summer. So if you're in the area and looking for a place to go rip this summer, definitely check it out. McNabb Skateboard Park offers a variety of programs for youth including lessons and skateboard camps. Proper safety equipment is required and if you are under 18 you must have a parent sign a waiver, so be prepared when you come. Check out McNabb and your local skate shop for updates on feature events happening throughout the summer!

Art + Helmets = ?

2010-05-13T12:54:00.003-04:00

We have a number of old helmets that will be sent to the sally-anne soon. If you know someone or are interested in using them for an art project, want to fix them up or do anything else with them they are free to whomever, just contact Aaron @ McNabb
