With 5' depths, moguls, and tight transitions, Denver Skatepark is a favorite of many skateboarders. The sprawling park offers several bowls and varied terrain, all alongside the Platte River. Beginners to experts can try out their new gear, attempt to master tricks, and spectate for those brave enough to traverse the more skilled skateboard areas of the park.
CBS Denver Insider's Tips:
Ask skateshop salespeople for proper safety gear and helmets while our in the park. With a wide variety of skill sets rolling through, a scraped elbow or concussion is never fun. With streamlined products that won't cramp the fashion style, "safety first" isn't just your mother's warning anymore.
Check the forecast- the skatepark is open during the wee hours of the morning into the evening with bright lights to light the way for eager riders. Slick tracks for afternoon showers or icy cover can make for hazards on the terrain of Denver. Make sure to check your local CBS forecast before heading out.
