The Georgia Banks is a giant bricked bank perfect for skateboarding. Almost spanning the entire block, it’s great for making lines and is a welcome transition from the many stairs, rails, and ledges that make up most of the downtown skate spots. There’s a sketchy 8-step on one side, and possibly a ledge to manual off of. Getting some skating in at the banks is all up to your luck though. On any given day, there’s a good chance the banks will be wet from the fountain that spans the entire bank.

Heading towards Stanley Park on Alberni, about 4 blocks away there’s an apartment that has a nice little ledge. Remember to keep it respectful; if the tenants ask you to leave, do it.
