Find any skatepark, anywhere in the world. Skatepark Map has been built by skaters, for skaters since 2015. Ten years of community-contributed data means you're getting real information from people who've actually skated these parks — not some corporate database. Each park listing includes: • Builder and construction details • Size and surface type • Photos from the community • Precise GPS coordinates dropped inside the park (not just the parking lot) • One-tap directions Track your session with a bright green path line — see exactly where you skated, how long, and how far. Lost? One tap copies your exact GPS coordinates to your clipboard so you can send them to anyone — a parent, a friend, emergency services. Works anywhere, not just at skateparks. A useful tool for kids exploring the city on their own. Search by name or browse the map. Filter by type. Use the new list view to find parks fast. No ads. No paywalls. No subscription. Free forever. Open source and proudly backed by the Marginal Way Skatepark Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Seattle. If Skatepark Map has helped you find a spot, consider buying us a coffee at https://skatecreteordie.com/?page=donate — 100% goes to keeping the app alive and the parks maintained.
