SLO SKATEPARK


 

SLO SKATEPARKI heart SLO SKATEPARK logo
The SLO Skate Park, located at Santa Rosa Park (1050 Oak Street), presents skaters the opportunity to master skills, learn and work on new tricks, and have fun hanging out with peers. Modular ramps (steel frame, skatelite pro surface) were installed in April 2009.

"Come get radical at the SLO Skate Park." - J.B.

Hours
7 a.m. to dusk

Rules
Hemet, elbow and knee pads are required. The SLO SKATEPARK is an unsupervised facility. Rules and regulations are posted on the fence. Rules enforced by the Ranger Service and SLOPD.

The Future of the SLO SKATEPARK
The first SLO SKATEPARK at Santa Rosa Park was opened in 1994 at the urging of the community. Wood ramps were built by generous volunteers. This new space gave the skateboarders their very own area to skate in the City. As the years passed, the wood ramps deteriorated and the skateboarding community decided to approach the City Council with a request for a new, in-ground concrete skate park. In 2007, the park was adopted as a Major City Goal and has gone through the extensive design and planning and approval process.

As the process nears its end, the project is not yet fully funded. The City has applied for several grants including the very competitive Tony Hawk Foundation Grant, which was awarded in 2009. However, a significant shortfall of funding remains. Please check out the Brick Campaign and fundraising events to be a part of building the dream!
