Ojibway Skate Park

The skate plaza was designed with the help of local youth. It was designed to feel like street skating with quite a bit of open skate space.

Starlight Cinema Summer Movies

Ojibway Park is the site of Woodbury’s free summer movie program, Starlight Cinema. The series brings popular family movies to the park on a two-story inflatable screen with stadium speakers. Movies begin at dusk with activities prior to the screening. The public is encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs for seating. We also suggest using whatever form of bug repellent you prefer.
