Skateboarding at Roberto Clemente Park

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to skateboard, but have been nervous to try at a skate park…this one’s for you! Join Friends of Grand Rapids Parks and Chris Gray (Graytones) at Roberto Clemente Park to learn skateboarding fundamentals.

Skateboarding is for Everyone
Here’s some lore about the skate park at Roberto Clemente—it was designed and built by the community. It’s colloquially known as “DIY Skate Park” because people came together to make a place to skate happen. We’re bringing that energy to this skating workshop—everyone who wants to be on a board should be on a board, and if it’s your first time, we’ll teach you how. 

We 🫶 Exploring Our Parks with You

You belong out here! We have an incredible park system in Grand Rapids, and want our community to have the tools they need to get outside, explore your parks, and find a new passion. Our community events bring together community members and local experts so you can learn something new: whether that’s a hobby, information about the natural world, or finding your new favorite park.
