SLO SKATEPARK
SLO SKATEPARK
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!
