Highland Outdoor Skate Plaza
14224 Bel-Red Road
Open dawn to 11 p.m. daily
This 13,000 square-foot skatepark replicates some of the world's favorite street skate spots. Instead of half pipes or bowls, it resembles everyday obstacles including various ledges, banks, stairs, hubbas, rails, benches, gaps and barriers. The park is also lit for evening skateboarding or rollerblading.
In 2017 we added a 24-foot flat bar, an across-and-down rail and a 40-foot "slappy" curb. The surface has been refinished and is very smooth. The plaza is lit for evening skateboarding or rollerblading.
Crossroads Park Skate Bowl
16000 NE 10th St.Open dawn to dusk
This state-of-the-art bowl was built by world-renowned skate park builder Grindline. Empty swimming pools paved the way for one of the earliest genres of skateboarding in the ‘70s. This skate park was built to emulate a similar feel, but with modern additions.
The massive bowl’s depth ranges from 4 to 9.5 feet. The bowl features an over-vertical "clamshell," multiple hips, escalators, a tombstone and various coping made of steel and concrete.
Lakemont Park Skate Bowl
5170 Village Park Dr SEOpen dawn to dusk
The Lakemont Skate Bowl is smaller than a traditional skate park, It features a pyramid, ledges, a wall ride and other obstacles. The skate bowl is designed for skateboarding and rollerblading.
