I think we can all agree that there have been some amazing changes taking place in Ogden lately. While many aspects of the city are new and improved, the Ogden skate park leaves a lot to be desired. Now that Ogden is growing, we need more space and different level skate parks for all ages. The current park is often crowded and offers little for more experienced skaters looking for new challenges. Skaters need a new terrain and obstacles to progress at all levels of skating. In addition to the need for more space, the obstacles in the current park are riddled with cracks, which can be very dangerous. Drainage is also a major issue and often times make the park unusable due to a giant pool of water.
Here's what some local skaters had to say:
"Skaters need a new terrain and obstacles to progress at all levels of skating. Ogden is trying to make the city a scenic place. A new park will fit the new scene. A bigger park will keep upcoming kids and teens out of the streets and off of private property resulting in more safety in the city."
"Cracks in Obstacles which can be VERY dangerous. Drainage is also a great hassle and the park is constantly filled with water and making the skate park unusable."
"We need a place of progression. It will keep us out of the streets of Ogden where everyone sees us as a nuisance. We will have a home where we would be proud to share with other skaters from other counties, cities, states and even countries."
"We spend more time and money in other cities than our own. If we had a desirable place to hangout and skate in Ogden, more time and money would be spent in our own city."
This Ogden skate park is very important to a wide variety of citizens of Ogden, and it keeps kids and teens of all ages outdoors, motivated, healthy and active. Let's give the Ogden skating community a place to practice and progress. We hope you will sign this petition and spread the word!
Thank you! - Ogden Reborn

I have been spending time at the current site lately watching skaters navigate the hazards of the standing water and damaged concrete. It is clear that the community deserves a space that fosters growth rather than posing a constant risk to those who use it.

Reaching one thousand signatures provides a clear signal that our community cares deeply about the future of local skating. I invite you to help us reach this mark by sending this link to a neighbor or friend who understands the value of safe recreational spaces. This momentum shows that a well-maintained park is essential for those who call Ogden home.

If the city does not take care of it, people will abandon it since they are already going to newer parks in other towns, and the problems that started due to neglect will only get worse. It is worth the effort!
What happened to the RAMP tax we voted for. Oh yeah. You put in pickle ball courts on 30 th and Monroe. Sure a lot of pickleball players there. Ogden needs skating and biking ramps. Come on Ogden open your eyes
My kids ages 3 and 7...the next generation love the skate park lately and I've been spending some time down there. The current park is too small for the amount of people using the park and an expansion should be considered.
Would be nice to have a decent skate park that didn't flood. The double half pipe (fun to transfer from one to the other), the step up (in the top right of the picture), and the box (on the far west, not shown in the picture) are a must need though.
there needs to be a new hopefully bigger skatepark, the skatepark there is now is so tiny and dangerous but everyone takes there kids there and they get ran over because the space is too small and you really can get going fast in there
Sure love coming here to skate. Sure wouldn’t mind a facelift!

I have only skated at two parks here in ogden (crossroads and north ogden) and while these two are both very fun, I think it would be fantastic to have some different terrain to try out, such as bowls, mini ramps, and flatbars.
