Dodge Skatepark Improvements

The iconic Dodge Park Skatepark was designed by Frank Hawk, father to famous skateboarder Tony Hawk, and constructed in 1990. It was the first public skatepark in a city where skateboarding was outlawed in most public places and was the only skatepark within the I-270 loop. Dodge Skatepark is still heavily used by residents and popular with skateboarders around the country. As a well-used amenity, Dodge Skatepark needs an immediate restoration. Additionally, a master plan is needed to determine replacement cost, other enhancements and an expansion area so it can continue to serve the public for the next 20+ years.

This project will make temporary (4-5 year) improvements to increase safety and improve the experience for users and develop a master plan for future replacement and potential expansion. The City will use community input and previous skatepark expansion designs to shape the master plan.
