On average, poured-in-place concrete skateparks (that are designed and built by professionals with community design input) cost between $40-80 per square foot. $55 per square foot is a decent number to use as an estimate.
There are often different factors in skatepark design and project conditions. Things like local prevailing wage and geological factors can adjust the cost. Work with your skatepark designer to learn more about your costs.
Funds raised for a public skatepark are often a combination of the city’s financial commitment to the project, local, regional and federal grant funding, along with local businesses, community service organizations and grass roots efforts. Projects can lower their cost by sourcing in-kind donations for materials, equipment and some types of labor. Eventually you’ll work with your skatepark designer to find a list of things you can help source locally as in-kind donations.
