Created by an award-winning skatepark designer, The Skatepark Etiquette Guide is an informational handbook for beginner skateboarders and the parents of beginner skateboarders, ready to embark on their first trip to the skatepark, but unclear about the typical etiquette that will ensure a safe and fun experience.
Skateparks are magical landscapes with limitless possibilities.
They are unique spaces where you can progress your skills, conquer your fears and most importantly, feel a sense of community and belonging.
To a beginner making their first trip to the skatepark though, the environment can feel chaotic and intimidating. And for more advanced riders, sharing space with someone who doesn't understand the unwritten rules of the skatepark can negatively impact safety and functionality.
That's the motivation behind The Skatepark Etiquette Guide.
Informed beginners create a more enjoyable experience for all.
While The Skatepark Etiquette Guide won't prevent 100% of conflicts and uncomfortable situations, it will give you the confidence and baseline understanding of skatepark mechanics to spend more time enjoying yourself and less time feeling unsure.
Skateparks are certainly chaotic, but there is an order and organization to the chaos. And in the heart of that chaos awaits a whole lot of fun!
