Park
Description:
- This
12,300 square foot park is designed for in-line
skaters and skateboarders.
- Within
the skating arena there are 12 ramp/box structures
constructed of pressure treated wood with a smooth
durable surface known as Skatelite. The ramps and
boxes allow for varying conditions to suit the interest
and skill of all skaters.
-
The
ground level skating surface is ultra smooth asphalt.
-
There is a main entrance building that houses vending
machines, coin operated lockers and a counter area
that is staffed.
-
The park requires and rents protective gear for
the protection of participants and for future use
in instructional classes and clinics. This equipment
includes heavy-duty knee and elbow pads, wrist guards
and helmets.
-
Benches
inside and out serve as a rest spot for skaters.
-
There is also a viewing area for parents and friends.
A unique feature of the Skate Park is the heavy-duty
workbench. Equipped with a large vise and clamps,
is an area designated for participants to work on
their equipment and to swap skate maintenance skills.
Participants will be able to sign out and use tools
from the office.
- Keep
an eye out for professional demos, competitions,
clinics and more and be sure to ask our staff about
our rental opportunities for your own event!
- The
park opened in June 2000 and was built and operated
by the City of Gaithersburg Department of Parks,
Recreation and Culture.
