The skate park is very popular with Page’s skaters, bikers and rollerbladers and it has been for years.

But after years of enjoyment the ramps, rails, and concrete are showing the wear.

But the skaters, bikers and boarders will soon be enjoying a new skate park.

The City of Page has hired Spohn Ranch Skate Park to design and build the new skate park. Spohn is a renowned company based out of California and has built skate parks ranging from Florida and Utah to Guantanamo Bay.  The City of Page considers it an honor to work with the design team and wants to take advantage of the fine craft for all to enjoy.

“The plan for the preliminary design for the skate park is to take advantage of the slope in John C Park,” said Kim Johnson, Community Development Director for the city of Page.  

Johnson says the city has had the development of a new skate park on the back burner for about a year and a half. As the plans move forward the city is seeking additional ideas for the park from Page residents.

“Since the infrastructure is aging; we want to redo the skate park to be safer, convenient and inviting,” said Johnson, “considering the frequent use by locals and visitors; the skate park is the number one feature that we should look into right now and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”

The city is holding an open house at City Hall on March 8 from 6-8PM, and all Page residents are invited to have their ideas heard. The goal of the open house is to receive input for design of the future skate park.

“It’s the community’s skate park,” said Johnson, “we want to know what they want whether it be an all wheel park or exclusive to boarding.”
 Boarders and non-boarders alike are welcome and strongly encouraged to be a part of the discussion for plans of the future of the John C. Page Skate Park.
