Situated in Northeast Park near the intersection of 1-65 and the Greenwood Airport, the newly constructed skateparkstands as a testament to collaborative community efforts and a commitment to providing an exceptional skating experience. Replacing the old prefab park, this custom concrete creation spanning 8,500 square feet is the result of a joint initiative between the Greenwood Parks Department and local riders who advocated for a tailored design. The park's location at Northeast Park offers skaters convenient access within Greenwood's vibrant recreational landscape.

Skatepark Features:

Designed with careful consideration for user diversity and flow, the skatepark boasts an array of features that cater to a variety of skating styles and preferences. The entrance area welcomes skaters with a flat lands section featuring boxes, a flat bar, rainbow rail, curbs, pole jam, and a china bank/ledge combo, providing ample opportunities for creative expression. The middle section of the park features a multi-leveled street scape highlighted by classic hubbas/down rail combos, steps, down rails, and two-level out rails, offering challenging obstacles for riders to conquer. Meanwhile, the transition area boasts a 4' mini ramp with a round pocket escalating to 7', multiple hips, a 2-level whale tail spine, and pump bumps that double as fly boxes for bikers, ensuring an exhilarating skating experience for all.

Decorative Elements and Design Inspiration:

Inspired by the rich legacy of skateboarders and local skate shops, the skatepark's decorative elements pay homage to Greenwood's skateboarding heritage. The design incorporates generational imagery from the N-Orbit and Greenwood Skatepark Posse crews, culminating in the creation of the 'Greenwood Flag' image etched into the flat rail. Steelwork featuring X's adds texture to the park's aesthetic, while a replica of the 1980s N-Orbit skatepark jersey pays homage to past generations of skateboarders. Additionally, the park's name, Greenwood, reflects a love for the color green and Indiana's lush woods, with color pops of green and a snake skin tile band stained green adding visual interest to the park's design.

Skatepark Hours:

Open daily from 8 am to 10 pm, the skatepark offers extended hours to accommodate skaters' schedules and ensure ample time for enjoying its facilities. This accessibility underscores the park's commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive space for skaters of all ages and skill levels to engage in their passion for skating within a supportive community environment.
