meh.
In general Dagmar's park is probably a lot better. They have stuff from beginners to advanced, so I'd go with Dagmar.
Although I have heard things about lakeridge steeping up there game this year? With like 3 parks or something. I'm not really sure though. From what i remember (2 seasons ago) the park wasnt very good. Maybe its changed?

No problem, i spent many Saturdays at the mar, learning park and i have to say they have quite the dandy park this year, so i have no doubt you will enjoy learning there, its a great atmosphere.

dagmar is generally better for learning the small park has alot of fun stuff i think for a beginner lakeridge could be kinda intimidating everythings pretty huge

went there today...

i have to say the downbox is one of the nicest boxes i have ever hit...very trickable

other than that i wasnt all that impressed years prior have been better.


lakeridge has a fun park as does dagmar but i would much rather pay the $ to ski the parks at dag/lakeridge over kirby any day.

that bein said i would much rather pay my money at oshawa ski club because its the only hill i can turn my obethed's on(claim)...to just ski that is

it looked like they were trying to make it happen, but they looked like a waste of a run/time since the chairlift was so busy.

maybe they will have better jumps but as far as i recall on the left hand side(going down the hill) there was 2 jumps beside the pipe maybe ~10 feet and another farther down on the same side again ~10-15 feet.

flat landings.

Dag's always my choice for park if im not up for the long haul up to mslm or blue, it fun just lapping the park. In terms of jumps talk to jake but i think they should be fine.

Every single park has its own small features that u are able to learn shit on.... but if id tell u a whole park that is good....


Id have to say dagmar is definatly stepping up their game.........

Been to blue once this year....... park looks decent.....

as far as i am concerned dag is the best OVERALL...

i havnt been in a few weeks but last time i was there the jumps were hurtin...ihave seen matt express plans on stepping them up, but when i was at lakeridges the jumps seemed nice...lots of pop and a steep as shit landing...only downside was the jumps were like ~10 decks and were ~20 feet apart from eachother lol.

dag FTW
