Overview

The Chanhassen Skate Park, located between City Hall and the Chanhassen Fire Station and beside the ice skating rink, was installed in September 1999. Skateboards, bicycles, and in-line skates are welcome at this facility.

Four years of effort were invested in the construction of the skate park. Young people from the community met with the City Council and the Park and Recreation Commission to push for the project. The 1999 Park and Recreation Department budget allocated $15,000 for the park. A second investment of $15,000 was made in the summer of 2000, and a third addition was added in 2003.

Skate Park Closed For Reconstruction

Due to Phase 2 construction of the Civic Campus project, the skate park is currently closed. As part of the project, the skate park will be moved slightly west (click here for a map of the new layout for City Center Park). It will feature a new, smoother skating surface for skaters and is estimated to open in early summer of 2026.
