SkateJam History:

From humble beginnings, Skate Jam was thought up by Pat Ovens and Marty Oblak while checking out some skateboarders in Tecumseh Park in the spring of 2009. They watched the kids on their boards while sitting in the greatest park in Sarnia and thought that there was something missing.

With a huge amount of space for people and activities in this great park, the wheels started turning, and Pat started to think about ways to make use of his fondest childhood hangout place.  He began imagining a fun day for Sarnians of all types to enjoy music and company of each other and to gather for FREE fun activities, summer smiles, home-grown music, skate boarding, BMX-ing and charity.
