The smooth, paved surface of the Jordan River Parkway Trail offers an excellent ride for rollerbladers and skateboarders, but sometimes you need more than just a straight path. For those looking to shred ramps, rails, and bowls, the Parkway serves as the perfect access route to a couple of exciting skate parks situated near the trail corridor. While not directly on the path, these nearby skate havens—easily reached by skating or cycling a short distance from the main trail—provide dedicated spaces for trick practice, high-energy sessions, and connecting with the local skate community. Use the Parkway as your launching pad for a day of speed on the pavement and skill in the park.

Wait Your Turn (The Rotation): Skate parks operate on a shared-use system. Watch the flow, and wait patiently for your turn before dropping in on a ramp or feature. Don’t cut off other riders.

Look Before You Drop: Always look up and around before you start a run to ensure the ramp or feature is clear. Yell “Dropping!” to announce your entrance.

Know Your Limits: Skate within your skill level. Attempting tricks beyond your capability increases the risk of injury to yourself and others.

Keep the Area Clear: When you’re not riding, move quickly out of the way of others. Spectators and resting riders should stay off the riding surfaces.

Helmet and Protective Gear: Helmets are essential and often legally required for minors; they are strongly recommended for all ages. Wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads significantly reduce the chance of serious injury.
