Meridian skatepark

The Meridian Skatepark in Meridian, Idaho, is a modern and expansive facility that was recently completed in 2023. The skatepark, built by Evergreen Skateparks, is a significant addition to the city’s recreational infrastructure. With a size of 15,000 square feet, it offers a variety of features, including bowls, flow sections, and street-style elements that cater to both novice and advanced skaters. The design incorporates smooth transitions and innovative features that make the park accessible and enjoyable for skaters, BMX riders, and scooter enthusiasts alike.

The skatepark is part of the city’s broader effort to provide high-quality public spaces for outdoor activities. The funding for this project came from a mix of public and community contributions. The city of Meridian worked closely with community leaders and skateboarding advocates to secure the necessary financial resources to bring the skatepark to life. This project has received significant attention as it fills a gap in the city's recreational options for youth who are not involved in traditional team sports.

Events at the Meridian Skatepark are expected to increase as the park gains popularity. While it is still relatively new, it is anticipated to host skateboarding competitions, community events, and youth programs in the near future. Given its prime location and the quality of its design, the skatepark is likely to become a hub for the local skateboarding community, attracting both regional skaters and visitors.

This new addition reflects the city's commitment to creating vibrant public spaces that encourage physical activity and community engagement, making Meridian Skatepark a key asset for the city's residents and visitors​.
