City Funded Skate Parks

White Bear Lake Public Skatepark

Located in Podvin Park, White Bear Lake, MN now has a public halfpipe. It is 4' tall x 20' wide. The city poured a cement pad that is 50' x 100' and they plan on expanding the park with street style elements in the coming years.

Zumbrota Public Skatepark

Just north of Rochester, MN, Zumbrota has a new 12' wide Quarterpipe and Bank, and Grind Ledge. What started off with a demonstration with our smaller demo-ramps earlier in the year, Zumbrota skaters have generated enough interest and money to pour a 50' x 100' cement pad and get a starter park going. They plan on adding more elements in the future.

Project Skate
Rice Lake Public Skatepark

Rice Lake has had a public skatepark for about 15 years now, and they realised that they needed an update. Through the hard work of the skaters themselves, they were able to fundraise enough money to pour a new concrete pad and donations are paying for the new skatepark. They plan on adding more to the skatepark as funding becomes available, and now the skaters themselves can claim proud ownership over their very own 'Project Skate.'
