Upper Ridge Road, Mt Hope, West Virginia 25880, United States of America.
Mount Hope, West Virginia, is home to the Summit Bechtel Reserve Skatepark, one of the largest and most comprehensive skateparks in the United States. Built by Spohn Ranch and completed around 2013, this skatepark is part of the broader Summit Bechtel Reserve, a facility designed for the Boy Scouts of America. The skatepark spans several sections, offering a mix of street plazas, bowl sections, transition areas, and vert ramps. This extensive layout provides a diverse range of features to accommodate skaters of all skill levels, making it a major draw for both local residents and visitors.
The skatepark's development was driven by a vision to create a state-of-the-art facility, with significant funding coming from the Boy Scouts of America and other associated entities. The reserve itself is a vast property dedicated to outdoor activities, and the skatepark serves as a key recreational area within this larger complex. The park's design emphasizes both functionality and inclusivity, ensuring that skaters of all abilities can enjoy its many features.
As part of its design, the skatepark includes advanced elements like large bowls, street-style setups with ledges, stairs, handrails, and quarter pipes, offering a comprehensive skating experience. Since its construction, the park has not undergone major renovations, but its top-tier design has kept it in excellent condition, ensuring it remains a premier destination for skaters.
Summit Bechtel Reserve Skatepark plays a significant role in the region’s skateboarding culture, serving not only Boy Scouts but also the local skateboarding community and visitors from across the nation.

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.
