Holland Skate Plaza, located in Elizabeth, New Jersey, opened in 2013 as part of a broader urban redevelopment project at Holland Playfield. The skatepark was designed and built by Spohn Ranch, a leading firm in skatepark design. Originally planned as a venue for concerts and social gatherings, the design evolved to include a vibrant 10,000-square-foot skate plaza thanks to input from Suburban Consulting Engineers and SpohnRanch. This plaza was designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding community, offering a unique, urban-inspired environment for skaters.
The park was designed to cater to skaters of various skill levels, with a flowing layout that integrates ledges, rails, stairs, and other street-style features. This ensures the space is accessible to beginners while also challenging enough for more advanced skaters. Holland Skate Plaza was intended to be a multi-use space, inviting non-skaters to appreciate the sculptural elements and observe the action, making it a welcoming community space.
Funding for the skatepark came as part of a city initiative to enhance recreational spaces, though specific figures for the park's budget are not widely discussed. However, its integration into the broader development of Holland Playfield highlights the city's commitment to revitalizing public spaces.
Since its opening, the skate plaza has become one of the top destinations for skaters in the New York/New Jersey area, drawing visitors from across the region and contributing to the growing skate culture in New Jersey.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
