St Louis Park skatepark: VIDEOS

Aug 19, 2018 CARPENTER PARK I moved to St. Louis Park, Minnesota in the summer of 2016 -- the summer the Rec Center closed its skate park. Until October 2017, St. Louis Park didn't have a skate park. But now, the city offers the local skate community a 6,500-square-foot concrete park with a number of rails, a mini, neat little bumps and gaps, and a mellow step-up. The city worked with California Skateparks, a premier skatepark design and build firm based in Upland, Calif. The firm has built skateparks all over the world, including nearly 200 in North America. They've built other parks in Minnesota too, like the plaza in St. Cloud. The St. Louis Park skatepark shares Carpenter Park with a baseball diamond and a neighboring practice field.
