We need more skate parks.
Every pin is a real skatepark. Find one near you, share your favorite spot and ask your city to build the next one.
Pins show skateparks mapped by the community on OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). Know a park that's missing? Add it to the map and it will show up here on the next update.
Ask your city for a skatepark
Cities build what residents ask for. A short, friendly email to your Parks & Recreation department is one of the easiest ways to get a new park on the agenda.
How it works: fill in your town, pick your reasons and hit Open in my email. Your email app opens with the letter ready to send. Nothing is sent by us and nothing is saved.
Tip: the more people from the same town who write in, the better. Share this page with your crew.
Skateparks are good for everyone
Use these points in your letter, at a city council meeting or when you talk to your neighbors.
Gets kids moving
Skating is a full-body workout kids actually want to do, outside and away from screens.
A safe place to skate
Without a park, skaters use streets, parking lots and plazas. A park gives them a safe spot built for it.
Good for local business
Skateparks draw visitors and events from out of town. That means more people eating, shopping and spending nearby, which supports the local tax base.
An Olympic sport
Skateboarding has been in the Olympics since Tokyo 2020. Local parks are where future riders get their start.
Built to last
A concrete park has no nets, lines or turf to replace and no staff or fees needed to use it.
Brings people together
All ages, all skill levels and every kind of person. Skaters, BMX riders and scooter kids share the same space and look out for each other.
