HEY DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORS, COME SKATE WITH US!
Our first S.K.A.T.E. Spot is ready at University Park! We teamed up with the City of Phoenix to bring a new place to skate at University Park on 11th Ave. and Van Buren, and we’re inviting the neighborhood out to break it in on November 13.
A HUGE thank you to Phoenix City Councilwoman Anna Hernandez for recognizing the value of skateboarding in our community and to APS for getting behind the spot and helping support the kids who’ll grow up skating it.
We’re kicking things off with free skate lessons and 100 brand-new skateboards to be given to kids in the University Park neighborhood at our signature Boards for the Barrio trade-up. Bring your old board and trade it for a new one. No board? Come get one!
Special thanks to our friends at Sana Sana Cerveceria for kicking in for Boards for the Barrio, Spinato’s Pizzeria for providing food for everyone, and Adam Vigil for the rad event artwork.
Designed by Colby Carter and built by Josh Hawkins, this spot was made by skateboarders, for skateboarders. That’s what S.K.A.T.E. Spots is about - bringing places to skate into neighborhood parks, closer to the kids who need them. We’re stoked to get this one in the ground and there will be more to come in 2027.
Come skate the new spot with us! Thank you to everyone who put their time, work, and support into making this S.K.A.T.E. Spot happen!
Friday, November 13 | 4–7 PM
University Park | 1102 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix
