This special space, which features a wiigiwam (gathering place), public artwork and walking paths, is intended to be a place of reflection and a connector to other neighbourhoods via a Main Street entryway. Oodena Celebration Circle By sharing stories of sacred sites and celestial wonders, Oodena Celebration Circle preserves The Forks' 6,000- year legacy of being a meeting place for all. A three- meter excavated bowl, bordered by cobblestone bases, ethereal sculptures and a naked eye observatory, features a hidden fire pit and serves as a culturally significant meeting place. The Plaza at The Forks Skateboard Park The Plaza at The Forks is Canada's best and largest urban skate plaza and bowl complex, which has had the distinction of being sought out by such prominent skaters as Tony Hawk and Bam Margera.
