Breckenridge Skatepark | Good Concrete Flow with Beautiful Scenery

Breckenridge is a beautiful place to be with so many things to do but while you’re here, definitely take the time to check out the Breckenridge Skatepark! The Breckenridge Skatepark is a 17,500 sq. ft. cement skatepark built by Team Pain Skateparks with a good variety of features and an incredible Rocky Mountain backdrop. This skatepark was built in 1999 and renovated in 2014, making a great medium sized skatepark for riders of all abilities. The smooth transitions and flow make this a fun place for longboarding in a skatepark.

Riders Thoughts: Breckenridge Skatepark

The Breckenridge Skatepark has a lot of things going for it that make it a very fun skatepark. The smooth transitions and flow of the snake bowl area are great for my preference of riding a longboard in a skatepark. There are many banked turns and you can roll in from just about any angle.

There are some steep roll in areas that give riders a lot of speed as they enter this main bowl area. The high speeds here can make it easy to get high on the walls. But there are some breaks in the wall that can really disrupt your flow. So be careful when going fast.

This snake run and smooth transition area of the skatepark is the highlight for my style of riding. The transitions make it easy to build speed and the flow is continuous no matter which way your coming from. This area starts just as you enter the skatepark and gradually gets deeper and steeper towards the other end of the skatepark.

Just past the end of the snake run area riders will find the deepest bowl at the Breckenridge Skatepark. This bowl is a rounded bowl with a drop in elevation and lined in full coping. This bowl gets about 11 ft deep on the deep side and about 6 1/2 feet deep on the shallow side.

Around this deep bowl, skaters can find a number of smaller street obstacles as they transition to the street side of the Breckenridge Skatepark.

Shred it Later – Pin it Now

The street side of the Breckenridge Skatepark has an abundance of street obstacles. These include ramps, rails, boxes, ledges, and even a table-top mine cart!

The street side of the skatepark is pretty long with a few different ramps leading up to platforms, boxes, and ledges. There are different degrees of steepness and different sizes of boxes and rails. This is great for riders of all experience levels, and helps riders gradually improve their skills. The ramps in this area add flow to this side of the skatepark. And they make it is easy to link a line back into the transition side of the skatepark.

As you make your way down the street side of the skatepark you end up back towards the front of the skatepark. This is where riders will find two more bowls. The first of which is the very first obstacle you see when entering the skatepark. This bowl is a very compact clover shape. It’s inspired by the classic vert style of riding in pool, complete with a stair set!

The next bowl is a larger but not very deep bowl with some pretty unique characteristics. This bowl has a few banked rounded corners and a very round pocket. The bowl is fully lined in coping and features a few different ledges in and around the bowl. The ledge inside the bowl is created by an extrusion coming out of the wall. And actually helps add flow to the bowl by creating some more banked turns.

Riders of any age and any skill level will enjoy skating at the Breckenridge Skatepark no matter what kind of wheels they use. The layout provides plenty of space for riders and the variety of features can help riders gain experience no matter their riding styles!
