What is there to skate?
The Skate Barn is a 6,000 square ft. indoor/outdoor park layered with skatelite. We have a 5 foot deep kidney bowl with pool coping and a nice hip, along with a 3 foot deep kidney bowl with steel coping.

We also have a street area with varying quarter pipes, banks, ramps and hips, as well as a vert wall and flybox with flatbar and ledge.

Outside, the Skate Barn has two halfpipes that hip together. One halfpipe is 4 ft. and 3 ft. high by 24 ft. wide. The other is 6 ft. high by 24 ft. wide, layered with steel. The concrete street pad is 16 ft. wide by 70 ft. long, with manual pad and concrete ledge. Check out our Gallery and Park Layout sections for pictures and a diagram of the park.

There's more in the works, and with your support, The Skate Barn will continue to grow!
