Renton's Skate Park
offers children, families, and skating enthusiasts exciting thrills - from quarter-pipes and skateable artwork, to highlights such as a twinkie, a funbox, mounds, bowls, a half-pipe, and more.
What sets Renton's park apart from other area skate parks is the inclusion of skateable artwork funded by the Renton Municipal Arts Commission. The artwork is comprised of whoop-de-dos, a series of hump-like ramps. The effect is of a "river" of colored concrete with boulders. It is also called "Rolling Waters" and mimics the motion of water.
The skate park covers about 8,400 square feet and includes obstacles for varying degrees of ability. All levels of skaters were involved in the design process.
Skater-friendly elements include two bowls, hips (two ramps meeting at an angle), quarter-pipes and half-pipes-(curved ramps), a funbox (which includes ledges and a railing) and a twinkie (an elongated, curved ramp).
