ROBERT LEE / FREE PRESS Fane Smeall, Pitikwe manager and skater, rides a ramp at the Pitikwe Skatepark in downtown Winnipeg on Thursday, August 6, 2026. Roger West, security, looks onwards from the staircase. The indoor park, formerly in Portage Place, relocated earlier this year to a former Snap Fitness beside the APTN building, continuing the city’s tradition of skateboarders creating their own year-round hubs.
