Skatepark Map of Dallas-Fort Worth

Welcome to Skateparks for Dallas.org!

Help us build safe, fun public skateparks in Dallas:

• The Oak Cliff Skatepark at Westmoreland Park is funded! Now we are raising money for phase 2 to add shade structures and park amenities.
• Bachman Lake Skatepark had its grand opening in May 2025.
• St. Francis (Lakeland Hills) skatepark rehab funded by the 2024 Park Bond. This future project helps make Dallas’ original skatepark up to standard.
• Garland Skatepark has been a big success.

Phase 1 is fully funded — $1.8 million to build the first public skatepark south of the Trinity, at Westmoreland Park. Phase 2 is raising $300,000 for a shade structure so families can use it year-round, and we are halfway there.

St. Francis Skatepark at Lakeland Hills Park

The original Dallas Skatepark. Let’s show it some love! These temporary metal ramps are worn and broken. Its time for an upgrade. The city has allocated funds from the 2024 Bond program to upgrade the skatepark to match the love the community has put into this park.

after the skateparks are built, what next?

• Skateparks are activity centers on their own, but we aim to help by partnering with Dallas Parks & Recreation for skateboard lessons, camps, and contests that involve the community.
• Garland skatepark has been a mecca since it opened, including with monthly clean up days, contests and meetups enabled by the local chapter of Skatepark Respect.

dallas skatepark goals: our definition of success

• A 30,000-75,000 square foot, permanent, poured-in concrete skatepark

• Features suitable for skaters of all levels with progression

• A venue that is welcoming, beautiful, safe and fun

• Accessible by multiple modes of transit, including DART and bike/walk

• A true public amenity, where families visit together, or just watch the talented young people of the city of Dallas, with benches and shade and other beneficial facilities

• Skateboard appropriate lighting for night skating

• Skatepark Master Plan developed to identify opportunities for permanent concrete skate parks in each city council district

Bachman Lake Skatepark met these goals and the Oak Cliff Skatepark is aiming for them as well.

Local Neighborhood Skatespots

• A local skatespot is a smaller park that fits in a neighborhood usually 5,000 to 10,000 sqft. In Dallas, St. Francis / Lakeland Hills fits the description, once we succeed it getting it upgraded to poured-in concrete.
