The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is pleased to announce that construction begins next week on a new skatepark at Central Gym Park. The design is based on an approved 2017 concept, which has been refined through community input into a final design shared last November.
The design features a streetstyle skating area, a flow bowl integrated into the site and a variety of skate features including banks, manual pad, rails, slappy curb, ledges and bowl with roll over bump. Also included: an entry plaza and seating with shade from existing mature trees, as well as landscaping, lighting and decorative fencing.
During Construction
Work on the skate park is expected to continue into the fall; if the weather cooperates, it will be completed in 2025.
Please stay out of fenced construction areas for your safety and that of others.
MPRB thanks everyone for their patience and support while we work to improve Minneapolis parks.
Special thanks to community members and skate folks who participated in engagement events or provided input; MPRB staff; Green Central School students and faculty; and the City of Skate for helping make this project come to fruition.
