Support the Northeast Park Skatepark
About Northeast Skatepark
In 2014, the Minneapolis Park and Rec Board approved the Northeast Park Master Plan, which included space for a 30,000 square-foot skatepark.
Quality public skateparks in our common spaces for the physical and mental health of youth and our communities.
A well-designed skatepark provides a safe environment for equity recreation and becomes a social, active community space. If constructed properly, a good skatepark should blend into its surroundings and require little maintenance. If constructed to highest quality and standards, skateparks are a high-use, high-value community investment.
Great parks make great communities. And, here in the Twin Cities, we have some of the best parks in the nation. In fact, the Trust for Public Land currently ranks Minneapolis and St. Paul number 1 and 2 in the nation on its annual ParkScore rating system. We need world-class skateparks to make our parks even better.
