The City of Davis Parks and Community Services Department is excited to announce the ribbon cutting ceremony for the renovated Community Park Skatepark on Friday, September 18, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. 

All are invited to attend this celebration that will feature a ribbon cutting, vendors, free merchandise and music. The skatepark represents the City’s continued investment in improving existing infrastructure while creating an exciting destination for residents and visitors for years to come. 

In 2024, the City determined that the 30+ year old skatepark was outdated and needed a complete overhaul. Through community outreach, the City released and reviewed proposals for a full design and build renovation of the skatepark. Designed and constructed by Grindline Skateparks, Inc., a company known for their world-class projects and reputation for combining community needs with skateboard use. The new space welcomes skaters of all ages and skill levels to gather, recreate and connect. 

The skatepark project broke ground in March 2026, and after five months of work the park is ready for use. The $1.2M park would not be possible without the allocation of Capital Improvement Funds, Park Impact Fees, community fundraising and the continued advocacy of our local skater community. This project symbolizes a true community build.  

While the skatepark will be open, additional site work will continue into the weeks ahead. The City and Grindline will be working on the final landscaping throughout November. The skatepark will be open daily from dawn to dusk and skaters are asked to abide by all park rules, which are posted onsite.
