Earlier this year, the Golden Skateboard Association secured funding through the Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Initiatives & Affected Areas Program for the Golden Skatepark Expansion Project. These funds have been used to complete the conceptual skatepark and landscape design phase of this project. For background information and detailed project information, click here.

Project Updates: Spring 2023
The skatepark construction crew is back in action and working on finishing up the expansion project. This year’s work includes a new bowl feature and a street section/beginner zone that will be constructed next to the outdoor basketball court/rink.
Stay tuned to see how the old fountain from the Post Office Plaza is incorporated into the project!
The first phase of the project was completed last year, doubling the size of the existing park. When completed, the skatepark will be close to three times its original size, with a full spectrum of features for all ability levels, including a larger beginner area, ideal for those who are just starting out. Connecting pathways between the pump track and sidewalks are also part of the plan, making it easy for all wheeled users to ride directly into the park.
The evolution of this park block will continue throughout the summer and into 2024.
