Seattle skateparks between the showers
Seattle has built out a citywide skatepark system: big district parks, small "skatedots" and a beginner-focused plaza. Sizes and build years below come from Parents for Skateparks' table of the city's skatepark plan; addresses come from Seattle Parks and Seattle Center.
Seattle Parks lists general park hours of 4 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Skateparks are unsupervised. Hours, closures and rules change, so check the linked official page on the day you go.

It opened in 2021 at about 18,000 sq ft. Seattle Center says it was designed for street skating, with a focus on space for beginners to learn and practice.

For bikes: I-5 Colonnade
The I-5 Colonnade mountain bike skills park (1701 Lakeview Blvd E, 98102) sits under the freeway between Capitol Hill and Eastlake. In 2025 Seattle Parks and the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance finished a paved pump track there, with a smaller beginner and adaptive track. It's a good stop for BMX riders.
Tips
- Dry windows matter. Under-cover spots like the Colonnade keep riding when it rains.
- Learning? Start at Seattle Center Skate Plaza before the deep bowls.
