Why this insurance is essential in Quebec

The skatepark — whether municipal, private, indoor or outdoor — concentrates a very real physical risk: users of all ages, modules with a steep slope, high-risk sports (skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, freestyle scooters, scooters), and an influx that densifies every year in Quebec. Injuries range from simple scrapes to severe fractures and concussions. The operator — municipality, NPO or private manager — is exposed.

General civil liability is the essential foundation. Municipalities often operate their own skateparks with a blanket policy, but private managers and community organizations must purchase dedicated insurance. One-off events (competition, brand demo, Go Skateboarding Day, urban festival) require a special event font on the day.

Frequently asked questions

Does a municipality have to insure its public skatepark?
Yes. Any recreational infrastructure that is open to the public must be covered by civil liability — usually part of the municipality’s overall policy. For a private skatepark or one run by a non-profit organization, a dedicated policy is required.
Difference between annual and special event?
The annual covers the continuous operation of the site (free users, supervision, modules). The special event covers a specific day: competition, Red Bull demo, Go Skateboarding Day, fundraiser. The two formats are frequently combined.
What if a user is seriously injured?
Civil liability covers defence costs and compensation paid if the operator is found liable (faulty modules, missing signalling, inadequate supervision). Users are also protected by their own private health/accident insurance.
Should regulations and a waiver be posted?
Yes, highly recommended. Clear signage (wearing of helmets, module levels, rules of use) and a waiver of liability for minor users (signed by parents) are elements that insurers value in the subscription.
Are BMX, stunt scooters and rollerblades covered?
Yes — the skatepark police cover all rolling board sports practiced on the modules: skateboarding, BMX, freestyle scooter (scooter), aggressive rollerblading, electric skateboarding. Reporting of permitted activities on the site is required.
How much does skatepark insurance cost in Quebec?
The premiums are indicative and depend on the surface area, the volume of attendance, the number of modules, the type of activity (sport alone or event) and the claims history. Accurate submission in 2 minutes.
And for an indoor skatepark?
Indoor skateparks have their own requirements: fire prevention, ventilation, on-site first aid equipment, evacuation plan. The RC is generally higher due to the concentration of users, but the absence of weather risk reduces some costs.
Can a skate school benefit from an adapted police force?
Yes. Skate, BMX or scooter schools take out a policy that includes the professional liability of instructors in addition to the RC. Children’s summer camps typically require higher CR limits.
