The W.O.L.F. (Way of Life Facility) Skatepark in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a prominent 16,000-square-foot skatepark located on land belonging to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. Opened in 2018, this park was designed by Pillar Design Studios and built by Artisan Skateparks as part of a broader recreational center within the Way of Life Facility (WoLF), which includes other athletic amenities such as a fitness center and swimming pools. The skatepark's design seamlessly integrates a mix of street and transition features, crafted in a circular flow to cater to various skill levels and skating styles. It includes elements like quarter pipes, funboxes, manual pads, a London gap, roll-ins, stairs, and an expansive two-part bowl with both shallow and deep ends, making it suitable for both technical tricks and high-speed transitions. The park also offers a shaded viewing area, providing an ideal spot for spectators to enjoy the action.
Unique to W.O.L.F. Skatepark is its restricted access policy, as it is reserved for members of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and their guests. This exclusivity helps maintain the park's pristine condition and aligns with the community's goal to create a safe, culturally centered space for recreation and social gatherings. The skatepark operates daily from sunrise to sunset, allowing skateboards, inline skates, BMX bikes, and scooters, but does not have lighting for night use.
The W.O.L.F. Skatepark exemplifies a blend of modern skatepark design with community-focused access, providing an inspiring model of a skate facility rooted in cultural and communal values. This setup contributes significantly to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community’s recreation facilities and promotes an inclusive space for physical activity and skill-building within the community.

Park looks fun but you have to be a member of that community to ride it… total bogus, never gets ridden. Astronomical waste of money

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.
