Pennsylvania Skate Parks
| FDR Skate Park |
| Corner of Pattison Ave and S. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102, Underneath the I-95 overpass | Features:- Free/No pads
- A real urban park with lots of urban character
- Tons of changing graffiti, traffic noise and skaters with attitude who will run you right over if you don't watch out
- There are hips and swells made by local skaters, big half-pipes and a 16 foot vertical wall, and something they call the "Dome" which is a wall of concrete that climbs up to a overhang
- The freeway keeps it dry so expect all kinds when it rains or snows to be hanging out underthere
- The park is SICK, but I wouldn't bring the little kiddies there
|
| Patrick Kerr Memorial Skate Park |
| Abington, PA | Features:- Free/No pads
- Excellent all concrete park with three good bowls and some street stuff too
- The bowls are shallow, more like pools than true bowls, nothing more than 7 feet deep, but the trannies are tight and kicking
- Coping around one pool is brick tiles, and in other spots regular pool style
- There's ledges, vertical and rails too

FDR. South Philadelphia
| Bloomsburg Skate Park |
| Bloomsburg Town Park, Bloomsburg PA, 17815 | Features:- Free/Helmet required
- Decent but small park
- There's a Five and a half-foot mini ramp
- There are also some quarter-pipes and ledges you can do some grinding on and a kinked rail
|
| Reid Menzer Memorial Skate Park |
| Bob Hoffman Stadium, York, PA 17403 | Features:- Free/no pads
- 20,000 square feet of concrete, half of it is street section, the other half a monster bowl that gets up to 10 feet deep, with hips and dips and metal coping
- Ledges and ledges, five stairs and eight stairs with hand rails
- Hubbas, eurogaps, benches and a quarter-pipe
|
| Blue Skate Park |
| 4301 Richilieu Rd, Bensalem, PA 19020 | Features:- Free/no pads
- Used to be a hassle because they wanted money and helmets, but not anymore
- It's a park with pre-fab ramps and stuff
- a two-tiered box,quarter-pipes and a bunch of rails, one of which is two circle rails welded to make a sort of flat rail which is different
- A curved launch ramp is fun and they have a two level mini-ramp
- Don't bother to come when it rains, there are puddles and they won't let you in
|
| Lancaster County Skate Park |
| 832 Eshelman Mill Rd, Lancaster, PA 17602d | Features:- Free/Full Pads and Helmet
- One of the best looking parks I've ever seen
- Big all concrete park, a 1/4 acre, with a unique one of a kind Full Pipe
- You can skate from the entrance path nearly 600 feet to the park and there are concrete benches you can mess around with as well
- Pool like bowls with metal coping and some pool style coping
- Only complaint is in the transitions, they're all screwed up because they used regular cement contractors who didn't really know what they were doing. Really should have got skatepark builders, then the park would be one of the best instead of just looking so damn good
- Still, it's loads better than a bunch of flat concrete with worn down pre-fab ramps
