About Bishop Skatepark
Bishop Skatepark, often referred to as Bishop DIY, is a raw, community-built outdoor facility located at 6017 Grand River Ave, Detroit, MI 48208, directly behind Northwestern High School. Born in April 2021 from grassroots efforts, this unstaffed park transformed an abandoned concrete slab into a creative, gritty space for Detroitโs action sports community. The park operates as a free, open-access site during daylight hours. Its layout reflects a strong DIY ethos, with hand-finished concrete and metal obstacles that prioritize creative lines over a standard skatepark design. Riders can session a mix of street and transition elements, including custom rails, boxes, and quarter-pipes. The terrain is raw and constantly shaped by the community, with evolving graffiti art and community-painted murals adding to the parkโs character. Bishop DIY offers a unique progression space for skaters, BMX riders, and rollers alike. With basic seating tables and a high-energy, inclusive atmosphere, it stands out as a distinct landmark in Detroitโs urban skate scene.
