Park Description:
Opened April 5, 2002!
The Louisville
Extreme Park includes 40,000 square feet of outdoor concrete skating
surface, a 24-foot full pipe, and a wooden vert ramp.
A second phase
includes a 20,000 square foot building with indoor skate areas,
concessions, and restrooms. In addition to drawing extreme sports
enthusiasts
from across the country, the park will be an attractive venue for
competitions and clinics.
Louisville
Extreme Park will provide skateboarding, rollerblading and biking
opportunities to people ofall ages and skill levels. Centrally located
downtown near Waterfront Park and Slugger Field, the“X-park”
will be accessible from all parts of the community by bus and car,
or by self-powered means via the RiverWalk and the Beargrass Creek
Bicycle Trail! The park’s design was based on the input of
a local task force and the results of a public meeting attended
by more than 100 likely Extreme Park users. Using clay, participants
created models of design features they wanted to see in the park.
