šŸ›¹Kickflips & Chill Vibes: Why Denver Skatepark Is the Crown Jewel of Colorado's Skate Scene

May 28, 2025•3 min read

If you're even slightly into skating — or just love watching the action — Denver Skatepark is the place to be. Tucked in just north of LoDo and bordering the South Platte River at 2205 19th St, CO 80202, this massive outdoor skatepark is one of the largest free public skateparks in the country. We’re talking over 60,000 square feet of concrete goodness, right in the heart of downtown Denver.

Yeah, you read that right. This place isn’t just a few ramps and rails—it’s a full-on urban adventure zone.

šŸ¤™ Why Skaters Love It Here

Denver Skatepark isn’t just big — it’s smartly designed for skaters of every level. Whether you’re just learning how to ollie or you’re out here pulling McTwists like it’s no big deal, there’s something for you. Here's a breakdown of the park's vibe:

  • Street Plaza: Curbs, handrails, ledges, and stair sets for that gritty, downtown-street feel

  • Bowls Galore: Deep bowls (some with pool coping!) for advanced skaters who like to fly

  • Beginner Zones: Gentle banks and mellow transitions for rookies

  • Endless Lines: The flow here is buttery smooth, letting you cruise from one obstacle to the next with ease

šŸ•¶ļø Pro tip: If you’re coming at sunset, bring your camera — the golden hour over the skyline is an absolute stunner.

šŸ“ Smack-Dab in the Action

What makes this spot even more epic? Its location. Denver Skatepark is nestled in Commons Park, just a quick walk from Coors Field, Union Station, and some of the city’s best bars, breweries, and food trucks.

After your sesh, you can:

  • Grab a cold brew at Wynkoop Brewing Company (Denver’s first craft brewery!)

  • Chill riverside at Platte River Park

  • Head to Highland for some seriously good tacos at Tacos Tequila Whiskey

  • Or just catch your breath and vibe at REI’s flagship store, which has a rad climbing wall and great outdoor gear

šŸ™ļø Bonus: The Downtown Vibe

The views here? Chef’s kiss. With the Denver skyline as your backdrop, you get that perfect blend of gritty skate energy and big city magic. There's also plenty of parking, public bathrooms, and lights for night skating — because we all know the best tricks sometimes come after dark.

Safety note: While the park’s open year-round, it can get icy in the winter, so always check the weather before heading out.

šŸŽ’ Good to Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Open daily, typically from dawn to 11:00 PM

  • Cost: 100% FREE

  • Helmets: Strongly encouraged (especially for beginners)

  • Crowds: Best time for beginners is early morning; pros roll deep in the late afternoons and weekends

šŸ›¹ Whether you're local or just passing through, this place is a Denver must-skate. And even if you're not on four wheels, it’s a killer spot to hang out, people-watch, or snap some iconic Denver pics.
