The SLO Skate Park features a 15,500-square-foot concrete park, outdoor amphitheater and public art. Helmets, elbow & knee pads required. Entry is FREE.
The grand opening of the new SLO Skate Park was February 28, 2015 with over 2000 in attendance.
The SLO Skate Park consists of a 15,500-square-foot concrete park, accommodating a variety of uses for residents and visitors alike. In addition to the skate area, the project features several recreational opportunities including an outdoor amphitheater, a low impact fitness path, a streetscape plaza for spectator seating, farmers’ markets, craft fairs and other events. Innovative public art will also be incorporated into the design of the new skate park.
The San Luis Obispo City Council approved the SLO Skate Park project with adoption of the 2013-15 Financial Plan in June 2013. Measure Y funding (a half-cent sales tax approved by SLO voters in 2006) plays a major role in supporting this project. Other funding comes from Parkland Funds and a notable grant provided by the Tony Hawk Foundation.
