ABOUT SKATEPARK

UN skate plaza

The UN Plaza Skatepark in San Francisco was officially opened on November 8, 2023, after a $2 million renovation effort led by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department. Located in the Civic Center area adjacent to Market Street, this new skate plaza spans 13,000 square feet and was designed by local professional skateboarders and skate park advocates. The design incorporates elements inspired by iconic San Francisco skate spots, many of which no longer exist, making it a tribute to the city’s rich skateboarding history. The features are intended to post homage to famous street spots like China banks.

The skatepark features ramps, ledges, platforms, and a centerpiece pyramid, which pays homage to the famous Place de la République in Paris, a well-known skate spot. It is part of a larger revitalization project aimed at transforming the UN Plaza into a vibrant public space for residents, incorporating not only skateboarding but also other recreational facilities such as chess, ping pong, and fitness areas.

The grand reopening of the plaza was celebrated with a daylong event that included a variety of activities, from fitness classes to nature play and STEM activities for kids, alongside teqball and chess lessons. This initiative marks a significant shift in the use of the plaza, helping to make it a more inviting and active space for the community
