Kingsport skatepark

The Scott Adams Memorial Skatepark in Kingsport, Tennessee, is a 10,000-square-foot facility that serves as a profound tribute to the memory of Scott Adams, whose legacy has united the local skate community for decades. Originally established in 2005 and relocated to its expansive new home at Brickyard Park in 2022, the facility was designed by New Line Skateparks with lead design by former professional skateboarder Kanten Russell, and built by New Line Skateparks. The project was further enhanced in 2023 with the addition of a world-class pump track designed by Claudio Caluori of Velosolutions and constructed by Velosolutions USA in partnership with American Ramp Company.

The park’s layout is a masterful blend of modern plaza terrain and traditional transition elements, utilizing integral colored concrete and custom ledge detailing to create a visually striking environment. Riders can navigate a well-proportioned mix of features, including a backyard-style bowl, a flow bowl, and a technical street section equipped with a four-stair set, up-down rails, and hubba ledges. The inclusion of a dedicated pump track—a regional highlight—offers a rhythmic, high-energy experience for bikers, skaters, and scooter users of all skill levels. By incorporating direct feedback from local patrons during the design process, the City of Kingsport has created a durable, inclusive, and high-performance landmark that honors its history while providing a premier destination for the future of action sports.
