Wakefield Skate Park

The Skate Park offers a chance for people of all ages and skill levels to enjoy the thrills and excitement of skateboarding, inline skating, and BMX biking on our Freestyle and Competition courses. The Freestyle course consists of bank ramps, 4 foot quarter pipe, pyramid, grind rails and a grind box. The Competition course consists of a double jum-box, euro gap, bank ramp with kicker, roll-over radius, and a grind box. We also offer an outstanding viewing area with picnic tables and tents to allow for an excellent experience watching your friends and family in the skate park.

Lake Fairfax Park

This plaza style outdoor facility features 15,000 square feet of skating area. The plaza obstacles include a shark fin, manual pad, and euro gap with ledges and rails. The ledges and rails are all of the low to medium type. The bowl consists of three sections at 4, 6, and 8 feet, three high-to-low curved hips, and consistent 8 foot tranny radius throughout. A great place to learn and for experienced types to work on more challenging stuff before they take it to the street.

Camps and Classes

In Skateboarding classes and camps, beginners can learn the basics and more experienced riders can learn advanced techniques. Kids of all ages can utilize awesome jump ramps to perfect their ollies and other tricks. Skateboard classes and camps feature a beginner area for novice riders, plus more advanced elements such as mini ramp half-pipes, vertical ramp, half-pipes and bowls for practice.
