Ann Arbor Skatepark

A 30,000-square-foot concrete facility featuring kidney pools, a snake run, and beginner-friendly transition sections. Known for community programs that explicitly welcome and teach older skaters.

Located within Veterans Memorial Park, this 30,000-square-foot concrete park offers everything from forgiving beginner areas to deep kidney pools and a sprawling snake run. The continuous layout makes it easy to find a mellow line to practice carving without getting in the way of advanced traffic.

The local community is highly supportive, running regular outreach and beginner sessions that explicitly welcome older skaters and provide a comfortable environment for learning the basics. Push-button lighting keeps the park sessionable well past sunset.
