Possum Creek Skatepark | Gainesville Florida

Possum Creek Skatepark is a pretty cool, unique skatepark that we got to check out in Florida. The skatepark is located at 4009 NW 53rd Ave in Gainesville, Florida. This park is great for street riding popsicle boards. Check out the layout – I really like the creativity put into this simple triangular skatepark!

Possum Creek Skatepark is medium in size compared to some of the parks I’ve been to recently, and it’s fun! The park has some great banked turns on every corner of the park, which really helps to keep the flow going.

The “points” of the triangle are all angled up a but, allowing you to build up speed for the ramps over the grass!

Unique Features and Obstacles

One of the most unique aspects of this park was the ramps that lead you to jump over the gap!

At Possum Creek Skatepark there are three ramps with gaps – two of which jump to the center platform with a half pyramid box. The other ramp is on the north corner of the park and is about 2 ft high with a 2-3 ft gap.

Just beyond the half pyramid box is the skateparks bowl. This is a cool bowl. It’s a good size, but not too deep. The different areas of the bowl are at varied elevations which I liked because it helped build up speed to surf the curves. The entire bowl is lined with coping, great for dropping in. I enjoy riding snake bowls that have long runs. This bowl is small but flows well for its size.

There are also a number of rails and boxes to grind on, along with some stairs. The center set of steps allows for a grand entrance to the skatepark. It makes the park immediately look ready for a fun skate session.

The skatepark is part of a larger park that includes a dog park, nature trail (gravel, no good for skating) & playground. There were bathrooms and drinking fountains!
