The idea of creating a snowpark in the city came from the Dillon Ojo Lifeline Foundation. Created by the family to honour the memory of their son Dillon-Charles Ojo, a well-known snowboarder and artist who lost his life in a tragic accident in 2018 at the age of 22. The Foundation wishes to increase accessibility to sports, particularly snowboarding and skateboarding, Dillon’s two favourite activities.

After his victory in the Rail Jam at Shakedown in 2012, we all knew that Dillon would have a positive impact on the world of snowboarding. We are happy to be able to continue to highlight his achievements through the Dillon Ojo Lifeline Foundation, by creating a skatepark in his memory, on the Olympic Park site.
